Abraham's Children: Race, Identity, and the DNA of the Chosen People

Could our sense of who we are really turn on a sliver of DNA? In our multiethnic world, questions of individual identity are becoming increasingly unclear. Now in ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN bestselling author Jon Entine vividly brings to life the profound human implications of the Age of Genetics while illuminating one of today's most controversial topics: the connection between genetics and who we are, and specifically the question "Who is a Jew?" Entine creates a fascinating narrative, reinterpreting the Jewish Biblical tradition of the Chosen People and the hereditary Israelite priestly caste of kohanim in the context of modern genetic research that enables scientists to trace individual family lines back for centuries. Synagogues in the mountains of India and China and Catholic churches with a Jewish identity in New Mexico and Colorado provide different patterns of connection within the tangled history of the Jewish Diaspora, and in the process, indicate exciting new approaches to defining one's identity. Legendary accounts of the Hebrew lineage of Ethiopian tribesmen, the building of Africa's Great Zimbabwe fortress, and even the so-called Lost Tribes are re-examined in the light of the most advanced contemporary genetic research. Not least, Entine tackles the vexed question of whether Jews, the most successful minority group in the history of the world, are genetically programmed to be intelligent.
