TI  - The origin of Palestinians and their genetic relatedness with other Mediterranean 
      populations.
PG  - 889-900
AB  - The genetic profile of Palestinians has, for the first time, been studied by 
      using human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene variability and haplotypes. The 
      comparison with other Mediterranean populations by using neighbor-joining 
      dendrograms and correspondence analyses reveal that Palestinians are genetically 
      very close to Jews and other Middle East populations, including Turks 
      (Anatolians), Lebanese, Egyptians, Armenians, and Iranians. Archaeologic and 
      genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient 
      Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian 
      peoples in ancient times. Thus, Palestinian-Jewish rivalry is based in cultural 
      and religious, but not in genetic, differences. The relatively close relatedness 
      of both Jews and Palestinians to western Mediterranean populations reflects the 
      continuous circum-Mediterranean cultural and gene flow that have occurred in 
      prehistoric and historic times. This flow overtly contradicts the demic diffusion 
      model of western Mediterranean populations substitution by agriculturalists 
      coming from the Middle East in the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition.
