The Sea Peoples: The Ancient Mystery That Stumped Historians For Centuries — And What Modern Science Finally Revealed About Who They Really Were
The answer is complex.
Modern populations in Israel and Palestine show genetic profiles that reflect thousands of years of population history, including the descendants of Bronze Age Canaanites, Iron Age Israelites and Philistines, various Semitic-speaking populations, Hellenistic and Roman-era migrations, Byzantine Christian populations, the Islamic expansion, the Crusades, the Ottoman period, and modern migrations in both directions.
Disentangling the contribution of the Philistines specifically from all of this subsequent history is difficult.
For Sardinia, as noted earlier, the population shows genetic distinctiveness that reflects primarily Neolithic farmer ancestry — not a large Bronze Age migration from the eastern Mediterranean.
