I wonder if Horners picked up any Egyptian ancestry from these trade contacts and expeditions.

Maybe the reverse as well, if there were also Puntites traveling to Egypt?

Well the Egyptians themselves, specifically Upper Egyptians, say their ancestors come from Punt so it's the other way around.

By the way, the real connection or link between Egypt and Punt is Nubia.

This proven by cranial morphology...

and dental morphology.

Irish 2010 (dental nonmetrics)

Dental non-metric analysis of ancient and modern African populations. The Ethiopia sample has closest biodistance values with the North African samples, particularly the Carthaginian (0.000), Badarian Egyptian (0.001), Pharaonic Nubian (0.002), Kabyle Berber (0.003), and A-Group Nubian (0.005) samples. Other Horn of Africa and North Africa samples in non-metric analyses have instead shown Sub-Saharan ties, which reflects the spurious nature of non-metric analysis as compared to the consistent and genetically-controlled metric analysis (Haddow 2012).
