Cato Carthaginem delendam censuit

Something that makes me happy and is not Barack Obama's election: Phoenician DNA. (Though I file traceable ancient lineages under extremely cool multiculturalism, so I suppose a line between the two could be drawn.) Now I want to know who's inherited the Etruscans.

I've always thought there were some connections between ancient Phoenician and Armenian (which naturally makes it personally interesting, since Armenians seem to be on a branch of their own out there, both linguistic and genetic), wish this study gave more ethnic info.

I don't know about the Armenians, but here's the original paper. I'm hoping for further studies!
