Phoenicians would have been an admixture of
The philistines were the Minoans descended primarily from early Neolithic farmers who migrated from Anatolia to Crete sometime between 9,000-6,000 BCE, with some admixture from the existing local populations. These Anatolian farmers, part of the Early European Farmer (EEF) population, had West Asian/Caucasus hunter-gatherer ancestry.
During the Neolithic period (around 10,000 BCE), farmers from the Fertile Crescent, including Anatolia and the Caucasus, began to migrate into the Levant, mixing with the local populations. So, the Phoenicians, who emerged as a distinct culture around 1500 BCE, were the result of a complex admixture of various populations.
The genetic makeup of the Phoenicians is believed to have been primarily a mix of local Levantine populations and migrants from the Caucasus and Anatolia.
The problem with the levant is that it’s a meat grinder and blender of genetics from every direction. Europeans at least know were’re three versions of european hunter gatherers, and then anatolian farmers, and back propagation of eastern european and caucasion huntergatheres in the steppe replacement.
the middle east is ‘throw your hands up’ in the air and try to filter out the gene pools that are so mixed it’s absurd.
