The line bottle necked to about 350 and then...
Does anyone know the rate of Ashkenazi Jews marriage to non-Ashkenazi (in the United States). I imagine its pretty high and would tend to dilute the genetic issues rather quickly. Although there is a huge upside to not diluting it too considering the brain power.
Currently around 58% up from 43% in 1970. Pretty soon most Jews will be ultra-Orthodox and they tend to have simply huge families. Good thing for the Republican Party.
Wiki: A 2013 survey conducted in the United States by the Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project found that intermarriage rate to be 58% among all Jews and 71% among non-Orthodox Jews.
NOT a recipe for a minority group’s continued existence.
