New study:-
This is an observation that I’ve been making for many years — despite the longstanding overemphasis on Islamic-period mediated genetic impacts.
“These findings suggest that even within this North Iberian isolated rural population, there were periods of sporadic genetic exchange with populations carrying North African ancestry, with a substantial portion likely occurring during the Umayyad Caliphate. However, the detection of minor levels (<10%) of North African ancestry in certain individuals from Las Gobas predating the Islamic conquest of Iberia, coupled with the observation that Roman Iberians, and although in a limited proportion (~4%) even Iron Age Iberians, also exhibit North African ancestry, prevents us from conclusively determining the timing and source of the North African genetic influence on individuals from Las Gobas.”

Grave circle B - Mycenaean reconstruction
Grave circle B was one of the largest known royal cemeteries of Mycenaean Greece. This man could have been the possible founder of the dynasty that built this cemetery, since his grave is one of the earliest in Grave Circle B. There is no pottery or metalwork in the grave, but the burial was marked by a large pile of stones. The age of the man was about 55 years, which makes him also the oldest of those buried in Grave Circle B. He had a massive build with a height of 175cm.

This is how the Ancient Israelites look alike.
The Levantine genetic cluster has remained stable on a cline since the Bronze Age, primarily composed of Neolithic Levantine ancestry, alongside other West Asian components such as Anatolia_N, Iran_N, and CHG. In 300 BC, Ein Gedi was a small settlement on the western shore of the Dead Sea. It served as an oasis with fertile land and freshwater springs. It had cultural and religious significance, as evidenced by mentions in historical texts like the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scroll

Were the Ancient Egyptians brown? Well, this is how they looked alike.
1200-1500 BC
The 18th dynasty of Egypt, also known as the Thutmosid Dynasty, is known for its famous and unusual pharaos, such as the sickly Tutankhamun, the longest-reigning female pharaoh Hatshepsut, known for her majestic palace, and Akhenaten, who attempted to introduce a religion exalting the sun disc - Aten, above other deities.

I find this research paper interesting it seems there is Mesopotamian dna and east African dna in arabs
Research says:-
1.We found that Iraqis, Assyrians, and Jew-
ish groups from Iran, Georgia, and Iraq could derive all their
ancestries from Tylos-period Bahrainis (Table S10). Arabians
such as Saudis, Emiratis, and Yemenis have, in addition to
ancestry from Tylos-period Bahrain, ancestry from East Africa..
2.While the inability
to reject various models of Bahrain Tylos ancestry containing
ancient Mesopotamians as a source suggests a relationship be-
tween the two..

“Hair color comparison between Iron Age Gauls and modern French.”
There are valid objections to the sort of science employed in these hair/eye/skin color calculations [for example, one of my own daughters, according to 23andMe, has the highest likelihood of “dark brown” hair, while actually having strawberry blonde hair.]
Nevertheless, this does present a broad picture of the continuity of these genes in the French population.
It also demonstrates how unreliable certain historical (namely Roman) accounts could be. (Of course, Romans were always presenting things in a relative/comparative manner; and there were also cultural practices amongst the Gauls/Celts that the Romans did not take account of — such as the practice of hair bleaching.)

Scientific cause of racism and tribalism
we conjecture that ethnocentrism may be modulated by brain oxytocin, a peptide shown to promote cooperation among in-group members. In double-blind, placebo-controlled designs, males self-administered oxytocin or placebo and privately performed computer-guided tasks to gauge different manifestations of ethnocentric in-group favoritism as well as out-group derogation
