SUMMARY:The genetic history of the Canaanites
DESCRIPTION:The emerging field of ancient DNA allows glimpses into the gene
 tics of individuals that are long-dead\, and revolutionizes our ability to
  probe into the human past. In particular\, it provides new means to tackl
 e long-standing historical questions. In this talk\, I will show the genet
 ic analysis of dozens of samples collected from a number of archaeological
  sites in Israel and the surroundings\, all presenting the “Canaanite”
  material culture. I will reveal their genetic origins\, showing that they
  are a mixture of local people\, and populations arriving from the northea
 st over extended periods of time throughout the Bronze Age. Whereas Canaan
 ites were spread in different city-states\, we show that they are genetica
 lly similar. This population\, therefore\, is an example of a case where s
 hared genetic ancestry is associated with shared culture. We examined pres
 ent-day populations related to the Levant\, and found that many of them ha
 ve substantial ancestry coming from populations related to the Bronze Age 
 Southern Levant and the northeast. These groups also harbor ancestry from 
 sources we cannot fully model with the available data\, highlighting the c
 ritical role of post-Bronze Age migrations into the region over the past 3
 000 years.\n\n \n\nAbstract
