Yardumian and Schurr have criticized both Elhaik's Khazar hypothesis and the mainstream model it challenged, on the grounds that, in their view, both assume the same homeland-diaspora expansion model. As opposed to this, they view [[ethnogenesis|Jewish ethnogenesis]] as one rooted in multiple heterogeneous populations which, often after conversion, coalesced to form modern day Jews.

Eran Elhaik (born 1980) is an Israeli-American geneticist and bioinformatician, and an associate professor of bioinformatics at Lund University in Sweden. His research uses computational, statistical, epidemiological and mathematical approaches to fields such as complex disorders, population genetics, personalised medicine, molecular evolution, genomics, paleogenomics and epigenetics.[citation needed]

Career

After completing undergraduate studies in Israel, he obtained a PhD in molecular evolution under the supervision of Dan Graur at the University of Houston in 2009, followed by postdoctoral research fellowships at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and School of Public Health. In 2011 the Genographic Project, after concerns emerged about the retention of private genetic data of individuals in surveyed populations, hired Elhaik and asked him to design a method that would enable analysts to extract only historical information from the accumulating genomic evidence of populations in such a way that individual's right to keep their private health profile was collected from individuals, without infringing their personal health data private.' [1] From 2014 to 2019 he worked at the University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences in the United Kingdom.[2] Since 2019 he has been an associate professor of bioinformatics at the Department of Biology at Lund University in Sweden.[3][4]

Research

In the field of molecular evolution, Elhaik worked on the compositional domain model that describes the compositional organization of animal genomes.[5]

In the field of complex disorders, he proposed that the allostatic load theory could be used to explain bipolar disorder [6] and Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).[7] According to this theory, the accumulation of perinatal and prenatal stressors has neurotoxic effects with consequences to one's health.

In the field of genetics, Elhaik was part of the team that designed the GenoChip microarray for the Genographic Project and their online tests.[8] He also contributed to the development of algorithms for data compression.[9]

In the field of population genetics, Elhaik has published papers analyzing the ancestries of European Jews[10][11][12] and Druze,[13][14] including work related to the Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry, a contentious subject that has received media attention.[15] Elhaik argues for a non-Levantine origin of the Ashkenazi[16] and favours the hypothesis that they are of mixed Irano-Turko-Slavic and southern European descent.[17] Most of Elhaik's population genetic research uses the GPS (Geographic Population Structure) algorithm designed by him and co-authors.[18] Marcus Feldman, director of Stanford’s Morrison Institute for Population and Resource Studies, has said that Elhaik is "just wrong", and that he "appears to be applying the statistics in a way that gives him different results from what everybody else has obtained from essentially similar data".[19]

Elhaik himself initially contacted Harry Ostrer, who, along with most other scientists in the field, proposes that the Jews are genetically related and relatively homogeneous, in order to obtain permission to access the data basis used by Ostrer and his colleagues to establish their result. Ostrer was willing to share his data provided that Elhaik submit a proposal showing that the project met several criteria, including that it be "non-defamatory nature toward the Jewish people". Pediatrician Catherine D. DeAngelis commented that 'allowing scientists access to data only if their research will not defame Jews is "peculiar"', and added "what he (Ostrer) does is set himself up for criticism: Wait a minute. What’s this guy trying to hide?"[19]

Elhaik has said that while his paper "has attracted the attention of anti-Zionists and 'anti-Semitic white supremacists'", his intention was not to disprove a connection to biblical Jews, but rather "to eliminate the racist underpinnings of anti-Semitism in Europe".[19]

Criticism

The accuracy and reliability of Elhaik's population genetic theory of the Khazars has been strongly criticised by other academics in peer-reviewed publications based on linguistic[20] and genetic evidence.[21][22] News articles written by academics and commentators on Jewish history and genealogy have also criticised his population genetic methods and software, historical and linguistic inferences, and underlying assumptions.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]

A corrigendum for one of Elhaik's original GPS method paper was published in 2016, after a co-author (Tatiana Tatarinova) failed to declare a conflict of interest with Prosapia Genetics.[33] Prosapia Genetics is a private company that sells a genealogy test based on Elhaik's GPS method.[26]
