        A 2020 study compared the genome-wide data of modern-day Palestinians and other populations in the Levant with various ancient population samples recovered from archaeological sites. It suggested that Palestinians, along with other modern-day populations in the Levant, have ancestry from Southern Levant populations from the Bronze and Iron Ages (associated with “Canaanite” culture), along with migrants from the Caucasus or Zagros area dating back to around 2500 to 1000 BCE.

        Genetic studies have also shown a genetic relationship between Palestinians and Jews.
