      If your Spanish side is from Southern Andalusian Mediterranean area (eg ancient Cadiz), South & Southeast Spain or the Balearic Islands, it'd be interesting to genetically test the original or added Phoenician-Neolithic Canaanite component in your overall autosome (total genetic makeup).

    I‘m Tunisian from the north near Tunis. I did a MyHeritage DNA Test and uploaded my File to the Mytrueancestry website. This Website matches your DNA to your ancient ancestral civilizations/roots. Even tho i‘m tunisians my closest ancient populations were Phoenicians,Carthaginians,Canaanites and Semites,Hellenic Romans and Romans. I think my ancestors were originally from the levant and settled in nothern africa a long time ago. I’m not saying that i‘m not Tunisian but i always felt culturally very close to the levantine arabs❤️🇹🇳🇱🇧

      @@enricomanno8434 I'm not an expert but it is not meaningless as far as I can see. in the ancient history there was the phoenicians who invented the alphabet. They gave this to the Greeks. They also traded. so they were close in many ways. Also they were all polytheists at that time right. So they had much in common. Even now mediterranean people eat similar food and look the same. The culture for the Christians is also very similar, if I have seen correctly.

    Now THIS is a GOOD video. Thank you. I'm Lebanese, and we are PHOENICIAN CANAANITES, from the Levant. That is our base. As shown in the vid and other research, we also have at least 15% European DNA, and further Caucasian admixture (from Iran and the Caucuses). In addition, many of us have some northern European DNA as well. This is confirmed through my own dna--I had 13% northern European admixture. And I am FULLY Lebanese (all 8 of my great grand parents). My friends had similar results to me as well. So to sum up, we are a Phoenician Canaanite population, with European admixture. Which is quite unique. Of course, we are also related to other Levantine people ✔️ by way of our Canaanite ancestry 💪🏻. But we also have other admixture that is specific to us. (Just as other Levantine people are unique in their own right also). Lebanese are *specifically descendants of the great Phoenicians*. And the BEST WAY to describe this is to say LEBANESE. It's a country, a culture, and an ethnicity. With an amazing history.

    If you're ever bored and want to go down a strange rabbit hole, look into the x haplogroup and the fact that it's really high in druze, scottish (Orkney islands specifically), and Georgia. It's also oddly present in north American native americans. You might be thinking "so what?" If you keep looking into it you'll find conspiracy theories involving atlantis, freemasonry, and rosicrusians and oddly the dispersion of this haplogroup kind of supports these ideas considering that druze are phoenicians supposedly connected to king Solomon, the Orkney Islands are a very important area for freemasonry, and a theory of atlantis says that native americans and middle eastern people came from atlantis. I know this is all going to sound whacky, and maybe it is, but it's a neat little rabbit hole. My ancestors are maronites and scottish ironically enough and I've always wondered if the x haplogroup is really common in the maronite population too or just in the druze population. There isnt a lot of literature out there on it.

Like in a lot of older texts that have to do with Rosicrucianism and Free Masonry there are claims that the Druze claim to be descendants from Atlantis. The thing is, these people were making these claims before anyone even knew what DNA was. I'm not saying it's real. I don't believe it myself. It's too far fetched for me.

    I appreciate this good sir. I love your content. I believe chalcolithic iranian is a component of Lebanese ancestry. Is this the same as one of the two groups of Iranians that you mentioned or a different group?
    Also if you are looking for ideas for other videos, it would be awesome if you would make videos solely about who natufians were, who Yamnaya were, who anatolian farmers were, who chalcolithic Iranians were and so on. Obviously I'm just making a suggestion and it's your channel so you're free to do as you like, but when you talk about these groups I'm curious about who these people are. And you do a really good job illustrating these things concisely. Sometimes I don't want to watch a 3 hour video but maybe a 20 minute video on that sort of thing lol. Up to you though. I like your Content regardless. Wish you kept the British video though. I can't find it anymore.

      I can tell you. I'm Lebanese and I've done the research. The Natufians are pretty much native to the Levant. They might have come from the Caucuses originally, but we really don't know at this point. The other portion that makes up Canaanites were Caucasian. He says here that they were Iranian, but this is not an established fact. they could have come from other parts of the Caucuses (see the latest work of Lazaridis on this). The Yamnaya were a hunter gatherer population. They are responsible for spreading most the Indo-European languages in the Bronze Age. Btw, a small percentage of Yamnaya DNA is Levantine! We Lebanese have a good amount Yamnaya DNA. I myself have 30%. Chalcolithic Iranians have Yamnaya DNA also, but I haven't done a lot of research on them. But as for the other groups, those are the facts.

    MYHeritage:
    61% Levantine (Canaanite)
    24% Greek
    13% Caucasian
    2% Miscellaneous
    MyTrueAncestry admixture calculators
    On average, according to these calculators, I had--
    65% Canaanite
    17% Southern European
    13% Northern European
    5% Caucasian and trace ancestry
    The content of this vid is mostly accurate. But I'd add that newer research has been conducted (from after 2017) by geneticists Pierre Zalloua, and by Lazaridis. Their work reaffirms the ancient European connection, beginning from Phoenician times. And there's other interesting information about the Canaanites as well. I recommend everybody who's interested look it up.
    So in short, we Lebanese are a Phoenician Canaanite group, with European and Caucasian admixture. Another way to say this is *simply Lebanese*. It's a country, an ethnicity, and a culture, going back thousands of years, down to the present day.

    I’m a little confused by how we can now such populations through DNA. How do we know that xyz genetic sample is “Canaanite,” and how do we know that itself is not an admixture? At this point, it seems arbitrary (or perhaps, based on modern ethnography- we label it B*, because we think it matches up with what we believe about B* population).
    I’m also curious where you got these images, and how you know “they looked like that.”
    I also want to know where the Hebrews would fit into this schema. Would they be intermixed with Canaanite, or an identifiable subgroup? To me, language is a more reliable category for distinctions. I don’t see how we can “pure” DNA populations for these purposes. Maybe you explain it elsewhere.
