Ancient Punics: Culture Without DNA?!

Mind blown: Scientists just found that the ancient Punic civilization (think Carthage and epic sea traders) shared language and culture all over the Mediterranean—but barely any shared DNA! Turns out, these folks were a wild mix of Western Europeans and North Africans, not Levantine like everyone thought. Their influence spread through trade, not mass migration. Basically, they were the OG globalizers, proving you don’t need to be related to vibe together! #HistoryMystery #AncientDNA #Carthage #Phoenicians #ScienceNews #Science
