Modern day Palestinians come in all shades from “white” to “black”. As someone who studied and argued the genealogy and ancestry of the region, here’s the gist of it:

  1. Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Levantines are closely related.
  2. The closest people to Ancinet Egyptians are modern day Egyptians.
  3. The closest people to Ancient Levantines are modern day Yemenis, then Saudis.
  4. Modern Levantines reflect millennia of migrations and conquests since the collapse of the Bronze Age.
