You guys are so retarded, Phoenicians culture is extinct its language is also extinct but its dna is still floating around, When the arab tribes invaded lebanon, They didnt heavily massacre the inhabitants who simply turned to arab culture began speaking arabic having arabic cultural traits. So yes when you look at the dna of lebanese person, Its mostly phoenician. There is absolutely no doubt about it.
Arabs didnt have large populations before islam since they lived in desert areas, So when they conquered new places they never heavily settled their and instead arabized the local population
Arabs are simply a amalgation of various ethnic groups who were conquered and heavily arabized. And since their have not been any huge population movements between these regions since islam most of these places like lebanon and syria have almost the same identical dna as their non arab ancestral groups have. Places like southern syria and some places of iraq are the few areas where a lot of bedoiun arabs heavily changed the dna output. Most iraqis have almost the same identical dna since the sumerians, They are more close to the old sumerian then khaleejis
