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 can be resolved, e.g. the apparent descent from multiple patrilineal lines of men belonging by birthright to the Jewish priestly class, and the apparent descent from multiple patrilineal lines of Jewish men generally. More significantly, light can be cast on the genetic divide between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews, and the identity and location(s) of the Lost Tribes of Israel.
