I want to know the answer to the following question:
Were the Ashkenazim thought to be a subset or superset of their assumed geographical source population?
All the background I'm provided with is that "A 2010 study by Bray et al., using SNP microarray techniques and linkage analysis found that when assuming Druze and Palestinian Arab populations to represent the reference to world Jewry ancestor genome, between 35 to 55 percent of the modern Ashkenazi genome can possibly be of European origin, and that European "admixture is considerably higher than previous estimates by studies that used the Y chromosome" with this reference point.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
