Sephardic Genes Widespread In Latin Americans Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

(JTA) — In a genetic study of 6,589 people from five Latin American countries, about a quarter displayed traces of what may be Sephardic Jewish ancestry.

Geneticist Juan-Camilo Chacón-Duque and his colleagues published their findings last week in Nature Communications magazine, in an article titled “Latin Americans show wide-spread Converso ancestry and imprint of local Native ancestry on physical appearance.”

Converso is the Spanish-language word for people who converted from Judaism to Christianity during the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. Many conversos, or anusim in Hebrew, fled to Latin America.

The article is from the mainstream media being from the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency), I think "the forward" does lean left.

One critical trait history shows, is a broad rather than a narrow perspective, a trait
this jurno utterly lacks.
The Muslims (Moors) controlled Spain for some 800 years beginning around 700 AD.
As such, the Inquisition was directed at them rather than the Jews, as Catholicism
and the Monarchy became the dominant forces in Spain.
This self labeled "genetic study" is a pointless triviality, at best

...about a quarter displayed traces of what may be Sephardic Jewish ancestry.

Or it could be gonorrhea or Martian or being members of Menudo. This article is a load of shit.

And the Authors point would be What?

Why, If, When, and Who the Hell Cares, or Why Should they?
