"You've moved from Cohen marker on this small group to a general statement about Jews which is false. The Kohathites originally may have had a narrow African intermixture since the ancient Israelites came out of North Africa after being slaves there for hundreds of years. Also, the Kohathites were not one of the 12 Tribes of Israel. Hence their, distinctiveness was related to the fact that Kohath, who was the son of Levi, was the father of Amram, Izher, Hebron and Uzziel (Exod. 6:18; Num 3:19, 27; 1 Chron. 6:3). In other words there were several Kohathite branches of the Levitical families (Num. 3:27). It is NOT necessary to assume some kind of admixture after the diaspora. At the outset, since there were several Kohathite branches there may have been this African connection albeit limited. "

Where did I mention the Kohathites? I have only been talking of the Lemba. Are you arguing that the Lemba are not the result of mixing between Jews and blacks but rather pure descendants of the Kohathites?

Kohath was the son of Levi. Kohath was the father of Amram, Izher, Hebron and Uzziel. Amram married his wife Jochebed (the sister of Kohath) who was the father of Aaron, Moses and Miriam. What I'm saying to you is that in that admixture originally could have come the cohen marker through, particularly, Izher, Hebron and Uzziel. In other words the Cohen markers patrinial lineage does not necessarily have to come through Aaron since as you see Kohath had other sources, i.e., other heirs.
