I watched the first episode. It was laughably bad. Made Egypt look like it was mostly populated by Sub-Saharan west Africans. I'm fine taking liberties in fiction, but where something purports to be history, it should try to get things right.
Ancient peoples moved around. A lot.
Ancient peoples got it on with others. A lot.
We interbred with different groups of Sapiens.
We interbred with different groups of Hominins.
Caucasian peoples have significant amounts of Neanderthal DNA.
Asiatic peoples have significant amounts of Denisovan DNA.
In many ways you could argue that the closest thing we see to “pure bloods” are the Sub-Saharan African peoples.
Very little admixture present in their DNA. Neither from other regional Sapien groups, or other Hominin groups.
Yep, Sub-Saharan Africans are the most "human" humans, genetically speaking, because they lack the neanderthal and denisovan admixture.
