[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] By the way... [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] So ancient Levantines are not as homogeneous as you believe and neither were all of them the light/fair skinned types you believe: [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6f/9d/1b/6f9d1bb1ef342bc42d77d72e5150e3a0.jpg[/IMG] ^ The above portrait is that of a Shasu Bedouin from the Levant! [/qb][/QUOTE]We actually have possible aDNA evidence for Bronze Age Canaanites (or Phoenicians) having darker skin than modern inhabitants of the region. [URL=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5544389/]Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History from Ancient Canaanite and Present-Day Lebanese Genome Sequences[/URL] [QUOTE]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. In addition, SNPs associated with phenotypic traits show that Sidon_BA and the Lebanese had comparable skin, hair, and eye colors (in general: light intermediate skin pigmentation, brown eyes, and dark hair) with similar frequencies of the underlying causal variants in SLC24A5 and HERC2, but [qb]with Sidon_BA probably having darker skin than Lebanese today from variants in SLC45A2 resulting in darker pigmentation[/qb] (Table S2).[/QUOTE]Makes you wonder about other Bronze Age populations in the region, even some of the ones further from Africa.
