Canaanite genetics

[Duncan Head]

From last year, but I only just came across the link:

The team extracted and studied the DNA of people from five archaeological sites in the Bronze Age Southern Levant. They all share the 'Canaanite' material culture and seem to be descending from two sources: People who lived in the region at earlier times and people who arrived from the area of the Caucasus-Zagros Mountains. These populations mixed at roughly equal proportions.
