NowSpeech, it seems, can long outlast biology. It was previously believed that the Levantine DNA of the Phoenicians spread as far as their famous alphabet, which influenced quite a few languages. • DNA analysis of individuals buried in what used to be Phoenician outposts in southern Europe showed Greek …
