Do Arabs and most Persians have a common origin? Depends principally on the type of Arab. Syrians and nearby areas maybe. But if u mean Saudia Arabian, Palestinian, Jordanian, and general Bedouin populations, then I'd say no, we do not have a common origin. What kind of Arab has a common origin with Jew? |

Actually, their relatedness to Arabs has more to do with a common origin than admixture, which there hasn't been that much of. Look at how close southwestern Iran is to Arabia.
Not many. Druze, if you consider them Arabs, are similar to Jews.

So they are not technically Persians, right? Not many. Druze, if you consider them Arabs, are similar to Jews. [/quote] That's what I always thought, but greatness seems to have a different idea. Or I've misunderstood him. |

They're Persians, just a little closer to Arabs than their cousins from North and Central Iran.  |

I am pretty disappointed by you Yigal Version.666 endless.
No comment about your half brothers the Saudis? Now that you know that you are half Saudi, why don't you take a trip to Mekka so that the better half of you can come to peace with JHWH. ;D

I'm not Yigal. Shavua tov I know! I was referring to Yigal or Kaghan agaguzturunkuzzo or whatever his Name is now. That's why I said I was disappointed about him not commenting on this subject.  |

Do Jews then have more Arab ancestry than the Lebanese?

Dude... Jews don't have Arab ancestry. Check my posts in the Calabrians/Sephardic Jews thread.

I meant Arab in the "South Arabian" sense, as Eu10 was supposed to have originated in the south.

Again, i mean people of the same stock as "ethnic" Arabs or South Arabians.
I don't know if there is a genetic basis for the "Arabid" race, but if so, i mean that.

Well, again, how can Jews have more Arabian ancestry than the Lebanese? Or any really?
Historically the Jews and Arabs and Lebanese all came from the same Middle-Eastern stock, but the Arabians split off much earlier and went south. The Arabians then invaded the rest of the Middle-East and infused their blood into most everyone, including the Lebanese - but a degree of which no one is actually sure - though it probably is somewhere around 5-20%. For obvious reasons, the Jews picked up nothing from this.
There are Yemenite Jews - whose numbers aren't large anyway - they have a lot of Arabian admixture, and I guess a little mixing had gone on with Middle-Eastern populations that had picked up Arabian, but other than that? Where?
