I also find it concerning that the Punic study didn't include any archaeologists from Tunisia or Algeria, especially in a paper claiming African ancestry was a "minority contributor" to Carthage, and uses worrisome terms like "ancestry mixing" which seems wildly close to "race mixing" to me. Seems like typical extractive/colonial science to me, and I am shocked and disappointed that no one seems to have taken a critical approach to it yet.
