From your reference :
==========
If the proto-Villanovan culture signifies the EtruscansÂ’ arrival,
it is surprising that no similar culture is known from ancient Turkey, he said.
=======
Working with ancient DNA is extremely difficult,
the DNA recovered from the Etruscan bones showed clear signs of such problems.
==========
According to the map, Etruscans should be found :
- in western Anatolia (no traces)
- Greece, Bulgaria, Albania (no traces)
- Egypt, (no traces)
- Libya, Tunisia. (no traces)
=============
Conclusion : Proves nothing at all.
The map looks like the impact of Phoenician "blood"
not like Etruscan whatever.
==========
Now,
I have read but I have not been able to find the source,
that some people in North England bear the genetic print
of the Roman soldier who settled there around 400 AD,
the man is in fact a maghrebin.
The genetic oddities found on people can also be explained
because of slaves or soldiers or individual migrants.
