Mediterranean populations

Mediterranean populations refer to the diverse groups of people living around the Mediterranean Sea, which borders several countries in Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. These populations share cultural, historical, and social ties, influenced by trade, migration, and conquest over centuries. They often have a Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, and fish, promoting health and longevity. The region is known for its vibrant cultures, languages, and traditions, which reflect a blend of ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians, contributing to a rich tapestry of heritage and identity.
