On the Y-DNA of the Lost Tribes of Israel

Biblical chronology has since the advent of the scientific revolution generally, and particularly since the publication of On the Origin of Species in November 1859, fallen into disrepute. This is in no small part because the bible tells of a human race that is much younger than evolutionary chronology requires. It is a matter of great irony therefore that in November 1859 a work was published on the seemingly unrelated topic of the prime numbers which contained a hypothesis (the Riemann Hypothesis) whose truth implies that the time-frames of evolutionary chronology are inflated. When we take careful account of this inflation, some puzzling conflicts between genealogy and genetics (such as the apparent descent from multiple recent patriarchs of men belonging by birthright to the Jewish priestly class, the descent from multiple recent patriarchs of Jewish men generally). More significantly, light can be cast on genetic divide between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews, and on the identity and location(s) of the Lost Tribes of Israel.
