Samaritans a tragic Story

The origins of the Samarians (name gave from Hebrew Shomer (Keeper (of the Law)), Freedman, Anchor Bible Dictionary, 5:941, New York Doubleday, 1996), while they call themselves descendent of tribes, of Manasseh, Ephraim, and some decent Levi tribe , whie the Talmud say are decent of Kutha, but genetic work show, they is truth to both, actually shows a common ancestry of Samaritans and Jewish patrilineages (Shen et al, 2004. Reconstruction of Patrilineages and Matrilineages of Samaritan AND Other Israeli Population from Y-Chromosome and Mitochrondial DNA Sequence, Human Mutation 24: 248-260), historically was a large community of 1.5 Million, but through suppression in 529 CE they revolt against Byzantine Christians Rulers and force conversions (Fattal, A, 1958, Le Statut Legal des non-Musulman en pays d´Islam, Beyrouth Imprimerie Catholique, pp 72-3; Mark Cohen, 1994. Under Crescent & Cross, the Jews in the Middle Ages, Pricenton University Press, pp 30-74; Levy Ruben, 2000. New Evidence relating to the process of Islamization in Palestine in the Muslin Period, Springer, 43 (3) pp 257-276). Specially under Islamic rule (Ottoman Rule), they are deny to worship in Mount Gerizin for 400 yeaer. While Nablus population is consider decent of the Samarians (Ireton, 2003. The Samarians-The Samaritans strategies for Survival of an Ethno-religious Minority in the twenty First Century), but the tragedy was the suppression, have reduce the community to 5,000.

The tragedy, because the intermarriage between themselves, created a predisposition of genetic mutations amplified-creating genetic disease, due to small gene pool, while a small number of Ukrainian Women are marry to the community to expand the gene pool.
