[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [b]Given the loss of recent (early/mid holocene) northeast African ancestry in the Maghreb we may expect other, small, contributions from elsewhere to have undergone the same changes[/b]. This also includes the Phoenician presence along the Maghebi coast, [b]which has also been difficult to detect genetically.[/b][/QUOTE]Interesting in-depth article showing the fact that modern inhabitants of sites founded by ancient colonists tend to not show obvious evidence of genetic continuity with these colonists. They discuss modern DNA from sites settled by Sea People, Carthaginians and Phoenicians. Who Were the Phoenicians? http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/features/world/asia/lebanon/phoenicians-text On page 5 they conclude that Tunisians who live near known Carthaginian sites show no obvious differences from other regional groups: [QUOTE]The data from Tunisia also help redefine the legacy of the Phoenicians. "They left only a small impact in North Africa," Wells says. [b]"No more than 20 percent of the men we sampled had Y chromosomes that originated in the Middle East. Most carried the aboriginal North African M96 pattern.[/b]" That influx from the Middle East [b]could have come in three waves: the arrival of farming in North Africa 10,000 years ago, the Phoenicians, and the Islamic expansion 1,300 years ago.[/b] Microsatellites will let the researchers estimate when people bearing those markers arrived. [b]Even if they all turned out to be of Phoenician age, the impact on local people was relatively small.[/b][/QUOTE]Even if they find no Y chromosomes they can relate to Phoenicians, this doesn't mean this ancestry is not in their genomes.
