I’ve long suspected that the Phoenicians are the common ancestor of a lot of modern people in Northern Europe, parts of Africa, and East Asia. This is based on years of research at this point, but you can read this summary to get up to speed. I’ve finally developed a test that searches for the common maternal ancestor of the Tanzanians, the Basque, and the Koreans, and it turns out it’s still plausible that it’s the Phoenicians, but I’m starting to realize all of these tests simply tell me which population is the most ancient, without providing any obvious geography, which is what I’m really looking for. More to come, code below.
