Hitler 'had Jewish and African roots', DNA tests show

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/new...-Jewish-and-African-roots-DNA-tests-show.html

Saliva samples taken from 39 relatives of the Nazi leader show he may have had biological links to the “subhuman” races that he tried to exterminate during the Holocaust.
Jean-Paul Mulders, a Belgian journalist, and Marc Vermeeren, a historian, tracked down the Fuhrer’s relatives, including an Austrian farmer who was his cousin, earlier this year.

Not surprising, but interesting nevertheless. Even before these results it was clear he wasn't of pure "Aryan" stock.
 
Wasn't there another thread on this earlier?

Anyway, I always thought it was common knowledge that Hitler was part-Jewish?? (as much as half?)

I dont know if it is a fact or not, but my hilariously racist friend would say hitler was terrible because he was secretly jewish. He said it to shock people, so we never expected it to be true.
 
I remember reading something in the 60's that said Hitler was part Jewish from his illegitimate grandfather...making him 1/4 Jewish.

Of course, it's been denied numerous times, and it appears that MAYBE, Hitler was vague about his family history because the Schickelgruber side of his family was known for mental retardation and insanity. (gee...whoda guessed?)

Anyway, here's a couple of links that mention Hitler's possible Jewish ancestry from before the latest batch of information:

(again, apparently, these are based on rumors only)
 
It just shows once again what stupidity can do...
Lay the article on the grave of Hitler. You will probably here something as this coming from the ground :

" NEIN, das kann nicht whar sein !"
" NEIN !"
" NEIN !"
" NEIN !"
 
Based on the current model of the 'Out of Africa' theory of human evolution, wouldn't we all be considered to have African roots?
 
Afcourse we all have the same roots. Life is like a lightning bolt. It may have separate branches, but it all was not possible if not for that first excitation.
 
The ideal master race: as blond as Hitler, as thin as Goring, and as chaste as Rohm. 😛

This isn't really suprising as it confirms what historians have believed/suspected for quite some time.
 
I think it was very well known that Hitler was not a pure Aryan, but he still thought the "master race" or perfect race was Aryan, even if he personally didn't fit the bill. He was a supporter of eugenics.

Of course, but as someone else said there are branches. For example all people with blue eyes descend from a mutant about 11,000 years ago. All Europeans descend from a group of about 50 people if I recall correctly, etc.
