>purity
amateur term, you assume that there was continuity, therefore, there is no continuity, there was no influx or genetic overlap whatsoever, much less from the "north", concession accepted, as proved by studies>>17953840
>suggesting that the destruction at the end of the Bronze Age in the region did not necessarily lead to genetic discontinuity in each and every site. Notably, both Abel Beth Maacah and Megiddo are inland cities, and their genetic continuity throughout the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age might not be representative of other sites in the region
>The overlap between the Bronze Age and present-day Levantines suggests a degree of genetic continuity in the region

>These results support population continuity in the region and suggest that several present-day genetic disorders might stem from risk alleles that were already present in the Bronze Age population.

>Our results support genetic continuity since the Bronze Age and thus our large dataset of present-day Lebanese provided an opportunity to explore the admixture time using admixture-induced linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay
