The author, a geneticist by training, focuses on science, rather than history. He looks at the claims that Jews constitute a people with common biological roots. An argument that helps provide justification for the aspirations of this political movement dedicated to the return of the Jewish people to their homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis study explores two issues. The first considers the assertion that there is a biology of the Jews. The second deals with attempts to integrate this idea into a consistent history. Both issues unfolded against the background of a romantic national culture of Western Europe in the 19th century: Jews, primarily from Eastern Europe, began to believe these notions and soon they took the lead in the re-formulation of Jewish and Zionist existence. \u003c\/p\u003e The author does not intend to present a comprehensive picture of the biological literature of the origins of a people and the blood relations between them. He also recognizes that the subject is emotionally-loaded. The book does, however, present a profound mediation on three overlapping questions: What is special or unique to the Jews? Who were the genuine Jews? And how can one identify Jews?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is a revised and edited English version of \u003ci\u003eTzionut Vehabiologia shel Hayehudim\u003c\/i\u003e, published in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45276225011863,"sku":"9783319573441","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319573441.webp?v=1769285056","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/zionism-and-the-biology-of-jews-9783319573441","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
