Perhaps world most hated leader Adolf Hitler was probably descended from Jewish people and North Africans.
Adolf Hitler is likely to have been descended from both Jews and Africans, according to DNA tests. Samples taken from relatives of the Nazi leader show that he is biologically linked to the `sub-human` races he sought to exterminate.
Journalist Jean-Paul Mulders and historian Marc Vermeeren used DNA to track down 39 of the Fuhrer`s relatives earlier this year. They included an Austrian farmer revealed only as a cousin called Norbert H.A Belgian news magazine has reported that samples of saliva taken from these people strongly suggest Hitler had antecedents he certainly would not have cared for.
A London daily `Daily Mail` reports that a chromosome called Haplopgroup E1b1b (Y-DNA) is rare in Germany and indeed Western Europe.`It is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, in Algeria, Libya and Tunisia as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews,` Mr Vermeeren said. Historian A.Deshpande says that Hitler would be turning in his grave to hear that his descended from the Jews and Africans.
Haplogroup E1b1b1, which accounts for approximately 18 to 20 per cent of Ashkenazi and 8.6 per cent to 30 per cent of Sephardic Y-chromosomes, appears to be one of the major founding lineages of the Jewish population. `This is a surprising result,` said Ronny Decorte, a genetic specialist who agreed that Hitler probably did have some roots in North Africa.
