Закључци овог истраживања побијају Свевладову тврдњу да ова конкретна подграна R1a Z94 (Y2619) која се јавља код Левита потиче од Хазара. Цитирам:
"Cumulatively, the emerging profile is of a Middle Eastern ancestor, self-affiliating as Levite, and carrying the highly resolved R1a-Y2619 lineage, which was likely a minor haplogroup among the Hebrews. A star-like phylogeny, coalescing similarly to other Ashkenazi paternal lineages, ~1,743 ybp, suggests it to be one of the Ashkenazi paternal founders; to have expanded as part of the overall Ashkenazi demographic expansion, without special relation to the Levite affiliation; and to have subsequently spread to non-Ashkenazi Levites."
"The proposed Middle Eastern origin of the Ashkenazi Levite lineage based on what was previously a relatively limited number of reported samples20, can now be considered firmly validated. While the highest frequencies of haplogroup R1a are found in Eastern Europe18,28, our data revealed a rich variation of haplogroup R1a outside of Europe which is phylogenetically separate from the typically European R1a branches. Evidently, R1a-Y2619 is well nested within a plethora of phylogenetically close Middle Eastern sister-clades, sampled in Iranian Azeris, a Kerman, a Yazidi and one man from Iberia. This provides the needed evidence for its origin (Fig. 2 and Supplemental Figure S1)."
