The finding that less than one-third of the non- Cohen Jews who were tested possess these markers is not surprising to the geneticists.

 

How does the above paragraph prove
(a) this mutation began 3300 years ago
(b) it began in Asia
(c) Aaron was the first to have it.

 

The set and subset.. Set = all 'Jews' <> Subset 'Cohen'

If this mutation is supposed to have came from Aaron.. When the Israelites were counted there were 22,000 Levites

Numbers 1:46  Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty (those over 20 years old from the other 11 tribes)

 

Using a very conservative figure for the males under 20 years, adding the males over 20 and the Levites, there would have been well over 700,000 male Israelites at the time of Aaron.

 

'Jew' wrote "less than one-third of the non- Cohen Jews"

If a "Cohen" is a descendant of Aaron, then only 1/700,000th of all Israelites would contain this mutation.
