Nearly Half Of Ashkenazi Jews Descended From Four 'Founding Mothers'

"ScienceDaily (Jan. 17, 2006) — Some 3.5 million or 40 percent of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from just four “founding mothers” who lived in Europe 1,000 years ago. The mothers were part of a small group who founded the Ashkenazi Jewish community, which was established in Europe as a result of migration from the Near East."

The researchers looked at mitochondrial DNA, a type of genetic material that is passed down virtually unchanged from mother to daughter.

No, mitochondrial DNA is passed from mother to son, too. The author confused this with inheritance of the X chromosome.

Sperm carries mitochondrial DNA, but in humans it either never gets into the egg, or is diluted by the much greater quantity of maternal mtDNA, or it is destroyed.
