>The results underscore the Punic world’s cosmopolitan nature. Individuals with North African ancestry lived next to and intermingled with a majority of people of mainly Sicilian-Aegean ancestry in all sampled Punic sites, including Carthage.
>“We observe a genetic profile in the Punic world that was extraordinarily heterogeneous,” says David Reich, a professor of Genetics and Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University who co-led the work. “At each site, people were highly variable in their ancestry, with the largest genetic source being people similar to contemporary people of Sicily and the Aegean

the point is they didn't find much Levantine ancestry and Sicilianoids could have been local to the area.

Not really. They rarely cluster with pre-Punic locals from these regions.

They coild have lived on the shores for centuries, that would make them local.

they weren't, as the study itself concluded the locals were different and looked like western saharans
the agean admixture is recent and didn't even exist in italy itself before the iron age, iron age sicilian locals were sardinian-like

So... they were mongrels with a bit of Semitic stuff but definitely more aligned with the European components? mainly from the south?

>>17798529
that's basically it.
>>17798503
the most surprising thing is the IE ancestry, although it is relatively "low", I wouldn't expect anything higher than 5% in the fucking Semitic terrain they have as much steppe as the Mycenaeans and the feet of the Lebanese women are divine.

Looks like kino

Where would sicilian-ancestry be from then?

>>17798538
modern sicilian agean-like ancestry is not the same as early-middle iron age sicani ancestry, both the agean in punics and the agean of sicilians come from the eastern shores of the mediterranean sea

>>17798544
So you are saying aegean ancestry is Levantine?

>>17798536
One of the Philistine samples from Ashkelon is 100% genetically Greek. Philistines were originally Greek guys with Levantine wives, but the Greek ancestry disappeared after a few generations, similar to what we see in some biblical verses
>Lebanese women are divine.
I am an expert, and the best ones are those of Estonian women

>>17798550
Yes. They were Levantines, the same with Punics
