What does it mean to have the E-V22 genetic marker in your Y chromosome?

First of all, it is important to clarify that the Y chromosome is exclusive to men, and it is precisely because of its presence that one develops biologically as male. Women do not have it, as they are biologically female.

Although, according to divine law, all human beings are equal, biologically speaking, every man possesses a unique Y chromosome. This chromosome is essentially a collection of genetic mutations that have accumulated over millennia, and, from a Christian perspective, since the time of "Adam."

Men who share the same Y chromosome, and therefore the same sequence of genetic mutations, descend from the same paternal line because they inherited it from their father. They may come from the same father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, or some distant male ancestor, even thousands of years ago.

It is interesting to note that the male Y chromosome follows a similar logic to the Western tradition of surnames. Therefore, it may happen that people who share the same surname, descendants of the same paternal ancestor, also possess the same Y chromosome.

In the case of the E-V22 genetic marker, the mutation consists of the presence of Cytosine instead of Thymine, which is common in most other Y chromosomes, and therefore in most other men.

This specific mutation is found at position 6991916 of my Y chromosome and was passed down to me by my father, who inherited it from his father, and so on, through the generations, going back thousands of years.

In conclusion, E-V22 is the scientific term given to the presence of Cytosine at position 6991916 in the Y chromosome of those who possess it.

According to numerous converging studies and the personal considerations of the author, the presence of this genetic marker among Europeans is attributed to the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Jews, and the Canaanites. Its prevalence is particularly high among men from the Near East, such as Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese, and it has also been found in skeletal remains of Canaanites and Carthaginians dating back thousands of years, as well as in an Egyptian mummy and a medieval Crusader from Sidon, Lebanon.

This leads one to believe that all those Europeans who have an E-V22 Y chromosome are descendants of the peoples who carried it from the Near East thousands or hundreds of years ago. And who better than the peoples from those regions who settled in the Mediterranean and Europe in general, such as the Phoenicians and the Jews, strictly male?
