Besides, do you expect non-science buffs to know this? In the article it states the method to extract very old DNA samples without damaging them was only discovered 5 years ago. Seeing as the last Biology class I took was 8 years ago, I don't see how this is something surprising to you.
Fair enough.

Anyway, good to see you think the Daily Mail is trustworthy
I'm sure the above will change your mind

You sure about that? Jew is always always pejorative when used as an adjective.
Jewish physicist from Germany would be fine.
Jew physicist from Germany is not.
As a noun, Jew is fine.
Einstein was Jewish and Einstein was a Jew are about the same.

That's a nitpicky distinction.
Here's an idea. Focus on the idea being expressed, not the choice of words. If you understand that he's not trying to insult Jews, don't sweat the difference between Jew and Jewish. You're just looking for something to complain about at that point.

It's not a nitpicky distinction at all And it certain isn't just me who thinks so. It's due the history of how it was used. It's similiar to using the word boy when addressing a black guy. If he's truly "your boy," it's not offensive, but if not you come off sounding like Bull Connor.

If by "he," you mean Maksimilian, I didn't accuse him of trying to insult Jews. I'm speaking of how it's used in English and I don't believe he's from an English-speaking country so something may be lost in translation.
And re-reading my post, I see a typo
"always always pejorative" should be "almost always pejorative"
It's pretty simple. If you're not trying to insult people, don't use Jew as an adjective. Use Jewish. Otherwise you will be offending people, because as I said that construction is almost always pejorative.

So why the instant belief?

So it's just motivated reasoning then?

I just watched a documentary on H.H. Holmes... May have been him.
The DNA reports aren't as 100% it seems.
There are like 3 suspects... H.H. Holmes (Doctor), Walter Sickert (Son of royalty), and now with this guy Aaron Kosminski...The polish butcher.
