Phoenicians Live On In People's
Genes
Forgotten, Perhaps, But Not Gone
News Oct. 30, 2008 -- The ancient Phoenicians may be largely forgotten, but
they're not gone.
Rome destroyed the Phoenicians' greatest city -- Carthage -- centuries ago, but
new genetic studies indicate that as many as one in 17 men living in communities
around the Mediterranean may be descended from these ancient mariners.
Originating from what is now Lebanon, the Phoenicians were early seafarers and
traders who spread their culture, including a love for the color purple,
to North Africa, Spain and other countries around the region. But they seemed to
fade from history after being defeated in a series of wars with Rome.
Researchers led by Chris Tyler-Smith of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in
England were able to locate a genetic marker for the Phoenicians
on the male-only Y chromosome. First they studied references in the Bible and by Greek and Roman writers to
determine where there had been
Phoenician
cities and colonies.
Then the researchers compared the genes of residents in those areas to those of
people living in other Mediterranean communities which had not been Phoenician
settlements. Below are some related links.
