Ancient DNA confirms Swahilis' blended African and Asian ancestry

Summary by Ground News
Ancient DNA shows people living on the Swahili coast had an intertwined African and Asian ancestry. About 80 to 90 percent of Asian DNA could be linked to Persia. The remaining 10 percent came from Indian ancestors. This suggests intermarrying was happening by at least 1,000 CE, long after Africans first built the port towns where merchant trades took place.
