DNA research is shining new light on the Biblical Canaanite civilization, which existed thousands of years ago in the Middle East.
The ancient civilization, which created the first alphabet and is mentioned frequently in the Bible, has long fascinated historians. LiveScience reports that, because the Canaanites kept their records on papyrus, rather than clay, relatively little is known about them.
Now, however, scientists have found a genetic trail back to the Canaanites ancient world.
By sequencing the genomes of five Canaanites that lived 4,000 years ago with genomes from 99 people living in modern day Lebanon, researchers identified a strong genetic link to the mysterious civilization.
The results surprised the scientists, whose work was supported by U.K. biomedical research charity The Wellcome Trust.

UralAltaic, Uralo-Altaic or Uraltaic, also known as Turanian, is an

Originally suggested in the 19th century, the hypothesis remained debated into the mid 20th century, often with disagreements exacerbated by pan-nationalist agendas, enjoyed its greatest popularity by the proponents in Britain. Since the 1960s, the hypothesis has been widely rejected.
