Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
The author did an AMA a few years back about the book, and a more generalized AMA more recently.
Absolutely amazing lecture, but I don't see why this has any relevance to the sub?
They have Levantine makeup with some of them having ancient origin from anywhere between southern Europe, Cyprus (Levant) and Anatolia (Middle East) and the rest were from Middle East (Levant).
"Here, we report genome-wide data from human remains excavated at the ancient seaport of Ashkelon, forming a genetic time series encompassing the Bronze to Iron Age transition (Fig. 1, A and B). We find that all three Ashkelon populations derive most of their ancestry from the local Levantine gene pool. The early Iron Age population was distinct in its high genetic affinity to European-derived populations and in the high variation of that affinity, suggesting that a gene flow from a European-related gene pool entered Ashkelon either at the end of the Bronze Age or at the beginning of the Iron Age. Of the available contemporaneous populations, we model the southern European gene pool as the best proxy for this incoming gene flow. Last, we observe that the excess European affinity of the early Iron Age individuals does not persist in the later Iron Age population, suggesting that it had a limited genetic impact on the long-term population structure of the people in Ashkelon."
Philistines were NATIVE to the Levant.
Who were the sea peoples! I have this book btw
