http://judaism.about.com/od/worshiprituals/f/kohen.htmThis article refers to a study conducted by an Israeli nephrologist (I would have more confidence in the study if he were a geneticist) who found a common genetic marker in 97 to 98% of Kohanim that he studied. The article cites this study as strong evidence that these subjects have Aaron the high priest as a common ancestor. I would suggest that, given the restrictions on marriage observed by orthodox Kohanim, there are many common ancestors from much later than 1400 - 1200 BCE (about the time of the occupation of Palestine).
