Ancient DNA study finds Phoenician from Carthage had European ancestry

This is the first ancient DNA to be obtained from Phoenician remains and the team’s analysis shows that the man belonged to a rare European haplogroup — a genetic group with a common ancestor — that likely links his maternal ancestry to locations somewhere on the North Mediterranean coast, most probably on the Iberian Peninsula.

The Carthaginian Empire and its trade routes extended as far as Britain and Atlantic Gaul.  Obviously someone got a little horny with one of the locals!
