The DNA of ancient Canaanites lives on in modern-day Lebanese,
genetic analysis shows
By Mira Abed | July 27, 2017
The Canaanites lived at the crossroads of the ancient world. They
experienced wars, conquests and occupations for millennia, and as
a result evolutionary geneticists expected that their DNA would
become substantially mixed with incoming populations.
Astonishingly, new genetic analysis shows that scientists were
wrong. According to a new study in the American Journal of Human
Genetics, today’s Lebanese share a whopping 93% of their DNA with
the ancient Canaanites.
