Regarding the Sea Peoples, archaeologically speaking, they were never numerous enough to spread about their Chromosomes as some of you are suggesting. Even the main group in the Levant, which came into history as the inhabitants of the Philistine cities, had merged into the Canaanite population by Biblical times: they are the only Greek-speakers (as far as I know) who ever entirely lost their language. They can not have been a great multitude, and certainly too few to have influenced the 'Libyans' as well. |
