Corded Ware roots of Levite DNA?

[ToBeOrNotToBe]

Unfortunately, I think this attempt to connect the Levites to Corded Ware is just another try at claiming Jewish accomplishments for Aryans. I realize it sounds insane, but I do think that's what's going on.

Perhaps "nothing to do" is a bit strong, but "virtually nothing to do" would be accurate I think.

On general principles, given how Eastern Europeans treated Jews, it's almost blasphemous to suggest a connection. If our poster is indeed Jewish, I would just say I can completely understand why the entire idea is distasteful.

My goodness you would definitely fit in with one of Gimbutas's idealised "Old Europe" cultures - you're projecting your own beliefs onto this.

Obviously the main Ashkenazi Levite Y DNA lineage (as well as afaik all Ashkenazi R1a for that matter) comes ultimately from Corded Ware, what sort of a debate is this?
