A first of its kind genetic study confirms the history of the Druze community: The community began to form genetically in the 11^th century AD, and there has since been no genetic impact of other ethnic groups on the community. This is according to a new study conducted by a team of researchers led by Prof. Gil Atzmon of the Department of Human Biology at the university, Prof. Jamal Zidan of the Ziv Medical Center, Zefat, and Prof. Eitan Friedman of the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer. “This is the first genetic study to discover that the Druze community has genetic origins in the 11^th century AD,” said Professor Atzmon. This genetic finding correlates with the Druze community’s beliefs regarding their origin.
