Adolf Hitler DNA samples suggest that the dictator of Nazi Germany
had both Jewish and African roots.
The tests were conducted by Jean-Paul Mulders, a Belgian journalist,
and Marc Vermeeren, a historian, Telegraph reported. The pair tracked
down 39 of Hitler’s living relatives throughout Europe and America to
obtain saliva samples which ultimately suggest African and Jewish
ancestry.
Based on reports by NewYorkDailyNews.com, the Haplopgroup E1b1b
(Y-DNA) chromosome found in the samples is rarely found in Western
Europeans.
Instead, “it is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, in
Algeria, Libya and Tunisia as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic
Jews,” Vermeeren said in Knack, the Belgium magazine in which the
findings were published.
Hitler’s ancestry has been questioned before as historians suggested
he is of Jewish ancestry, but this time there is scientific evidence to
back up the claim, and to add to it.
