Well, now we have samples from the Levant Bronze Age, for example, so by comparing them to modern Levantines we might be able to get a better fix on the answer to my question specifically about the Arab slave trade, yes?
Yes we actually have an Iron age sample, its from the Megiddo Canaanites, you started a thread on that here : https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/34856-Upcoming-paper-on-Bronze-Age-Canaanites?p=524076&viewfull=1#post524076
The genomes of modern native Levantine populations trace ≈60% of their ancestry to IA Canaanites, ≈10% to Eastern Africa, and the remaining to less well characterized sources, possibly related to Iran.
10% East African difference from ancient smaples, but on Gedmatch it doesn't equal the West African or East African components that when summed up, on average equal 5%. what do they mean by East African exactly ? if like Horners then half of that is actually ENF.
