Recent research indicates that the Phoenician culture, which spread across the Mediterranean, did not have a shared genetic ancestry with ancient Middle Easterners. DNA analysis of skeletal remains from Phoenician sites shows that the ancestry of these people resembles ancient Greeks, Sicilians, and North Africans rather than their historical roots in the Middle East. Meanwhile, scientists have resolved the remaining traits Mendel described in peas, elucidating genetic mechanisms that dictate various phenotypic characteristics, including traits related to flower clustering and pod coloration.
The Phoenicians, though influential in spreading their culture across the Mediterranean, did not share genetic ancestry with ancient Middle Easterners, as revealed through DNA analysis.
Researchers have successfully identified genes that govern the final traits of garden peas first described by Mendel, providing clarity on inherited characteristics.
An analysis of DNA from around 200 Phoenician individuals indicates that their ancestry is more closely related to ancient Greeks and Sicilians than to Middle Eastern populations.
The study of rattlesnakes shows that these reptiles may adapt their venoms to better suit specific prey, highlighting evolutionary responses in isolated environments.
