I have not had too much time to look more into it, but noticed lots of confusion and arguments over it.
I was under the impression that with 50 percent of the Cohens being J1c, that would be the marker identifying the line.
Which btw. is also the most common y-DNA for Bedouins of the Sinai peninsula.
Now I am reading more and more claims of E1b1b being the marker for the Cohens.
My understanding was that the high E1b1b in Ashkenazis came from the fact that Sephardics who wound up mixing with them stem from the Hebrews migrating via Northern Africa towards the Iberian peninsula.
Is there any evidence as to what the original y-DNA marker for the Cohens was?
