Line 23: In the late 1990s, Uzi Ritte cross-analyzed Y-chromosome and mtDNA sequences in six Jewish communities and found indications of "admixture with neighboring communities of non-Jews".<ref name=Falk/> A study of Ashkenazi mtDNA in 2013 meanwhile revealed four [[matrilineal]] founders, all of which had ancestry in [[prehistoric Europe]], rather than the [[Near East]] or [[Caucasus]].<ref name=Falk/> Falk notes that, "not surprisingly, Ashkenazi Jews prove to compose a distinct yet quite integral branch of European genomic tapestry."<ref name=Falk/> A 2016 study proposed Benchmark to Test the Genetic Basis of Jewishness Challenging Notions of “Jewish Biomarkers”" in an attempt to identify as to whether Jewishness is a biological trait inherent from an “authentic” “Jewish type” (''jüdische Typus'') ancestor or a system of beliefs has been raging for over two centuries, Members of academia, the public, and [[23andMe]] were invited to use the benchmark to test claims that Jews are genetically distinct from non-Jews, the result was that “given the large number of scientific studies proclaiming that Jews are distinguishable from non-Jews (e.g., Need et al., 2009), they were surprised that only two individuals accepted the challenge”. Both individuals have failed to correctly identify even a single Jewish individual. No criticism on the benchmark was received. 23andMe’s representative refused to participate in the challenge.<ref>{{Cite journal \|last=Elhaik \|first=Eran \|date=2016 \|title=In Search of the jüdische Typus: A Proposed Benchmark to Test the Genetic Basis of Jewishness Challenges Notions of “Jewish Biomarkers” \|url=https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2016.00141 \|journal=Frontiers in Genetics \|volume=7 \|doi=10.3389/fgene.2016.00141/full \|issn=1664-8021}}</ref> ==Hypotheses==
