How much Phoenician admixture do Lebanese have in their DNA on average? I am wondering, some people claim that 90% of their DNA is Phoenician while some claim that they don't have Phoenician ancestry at all.

We don't know because we don't have autosomal Phoenician sample, i think?

I am wondering, some people claim that 90% of their DNA is Phoenician while some claim that they don't have Phoenician ancestry at all. The main conclusion of this study is that modern day Lebanese people owe over 90% of their ancestry to Middle Bronze Age Canaanites.

But is it true? Are they really genetically 90% Caannite?

Yes, along with other Levantine groups, such as Jews and Palestinians (not all of them, some came from the Caucasus and Egypt quite recently)
