This research paper lied about the first ever full Genome in Egypt

This 42-minute deep dive challenges a headline-ready Nature paper claiming “Punic people were genetically diverse with almost no Levantine ancestors.” We unpack the study’s sampling window (no pre-600 BCE founders), the post-conquest timeline problem, and reference-panel choices (PCA/ADMIXTURE) that underplay African signals by omitting key Nile-Valley and sub-Saharan sources. Then we place genetics alongside osteology, iconography, and classical texts—Pittard, Diop, Keita, early Cádiz busts, and Phoenician origin traditions—to argue Carthage was an Afro-Mediterranean civilization whose founders and core identity were deeply tied to Africa.

By the end, you’ll see why “Punic people” as a blanket label obscures early Carthaginians, how figure-level modeling choices shape conclusions, and why the narrative about Carthage’s identity matters for historical accuracy—not ideology.
