I found this on Jewish DNA

- Approximately 40% of Ashkenazi Jews descend from four "founding mothers" who lived in Europe about a thousand years ago[1].

- A 2017 study estimated that Ashkenazi Jewish genomes contain about 40% Middle Eastern ancestry, with the remaining 60% being European[2].

- Another study found that 70% of Jewish men and 82% of Palestinian Arab men shared Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors within the last few thousand years[2].

For other Jewish populations:

- Studies have shown that various Jewish groups (including Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Turkish, Greek, Sephardic, and Ashkenazi) share genetic connections indicating a common Middle Eastern origin[2].

- Approximately 35% to 43% of Jewish men belong to the paternal haplogroup J and its sub-haplogroups, which are particularly common in the Middle East and Southern Europe[2].

It's crucial to understand that these percentages represent genetic contributions and don't equate to a simple definition of "Semitic DNA." The genetic makeup of Jewish populations reflects a complex history of migrations, admixture, and isolation events over thousands of years.
