**Phoenician culture spread mainly through cultural exchange**
"_Individuals with North African ancestry lived next to and intermingled with a majority of people of mainly Sicilian-Aegean ancestry in all sampled Punic sites, including Carthage. Moreover, genetic networks across the Mediterranean suggest that shared demographic processes—such as trade, intermarriage, and population mixing—played a critical role in shaping these communities._"

**“Proto: How One Ancient Language Went Global” by Laura Spinney**
Peter Gordon
“_The “Proto” in the title Laura Spinney’s new book is a reference to “Proto-Indo-European” (PIE), the language from which modern tongues as diverse as Hindi, Greek, English, Russian and Armenian derive; this was perhaps deemed not quite fascinating enough, so the book was given a subtitle presumably more in tune with the contemporary zeitgeist._”
