A goal for future research, he added, should be to better understand the nature of that change, integrating the genetic, archaeological and historical evidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The relatively small sample size of the new study makes generalization difficult, said Eve MacDonald, a historian at Cardiff University and author of the forthcoming \u201cCarthage: A New History of an Ancient Empire,\u201d who was not involved with the project. \u201cBut the paper shows us how we need to broaden our understanding of the ancient worlds beyond simplistic narratives of us and them, or Roman and Carthaginian,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For Dr. MacDonald, the results prove that being Carthaginian was not a specific genetic marker and underscore the complexity of the city-state and its people. \u201cToday, we are so much more than just our genes, and identity cannot be reduced to a singularity,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat made someone Carthaginian would have been many things, including a link to Carthage itself, its myths, stories, cultures and families.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/24\/science\/archaeology-genetics-carthage-phoenician.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoenicians no doubt traveled to and from Carthage, he said, and over the six or seven centuries of its Punic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[984,1317,6250,4713,6249,1757,6247,6248,2312,6251],"class_list":["post-20759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-africa","tag-archaeology-and-anthropology","tag-carthage","tag-colonization","tag-david-e-1974","tag-genetics-and-heredity","tag-greek-civilization","tag-reich","tag-sicily-italy","tag-tunisia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Who Founded Carthage?
