Ancient DNA counters biblical account of the mysterious Canaanites
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/07/ancient-dna-counters-biblical-account-mysterious-canaanites
So apparently the Canaanites have living descendents and weren't entirely wiped out by the Israelites. That seems like a huge Biblical narrative counter unless you've actually read the Bible. The Israelites were commanded to completely wipe out the Canaanites, but they never actually did it. There are stories depicting the contamination of Israeli worship by Canaanite influences for the entire history of Israel until the first Diapsora.
But I guess I clicked, so they got what they wanted.
