Sea peoples' ceramics and weaponry suggest a southern Anatolian or Aegean origin. Quite possibly Myceaneans after the local economy collapsed, since the Myceaneans were around half a millenium behind the curve relative to everyone else (still running palace economies at a time when Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Levant had switched to a more laissez faire model). Genetic evidence suggests an origin farther away, Sicily or Spain, but genetic evidence is to be viewed with caution, since people, like for instance the sea peoples, move.

"Dark Age" is also something of a misnomer. While the old empires collapsed (Hittites) or contracted (Assyria and Egypt), or may have become sea peoples (Myceaneans), new states were quick to arise in the areas where Imperial control was lost. The levant's cultural continuum would see the emergence of the Phoenician states in the north, the Hebrew states in the south, and various smaller states around them. The use of alphabets became a lot more widespread, replacing cuneiform and hieratic. The manufacturing of iron led to a much more widespread adoption of metal for basic tools.

The sea peoples are also, maybe, a bit overrated as a military factor. We have one Egyptian inscription telling us about their exploits, but that same Egypt considered the nomad incursions from the southern levant to be a considerably more pressing matter. Inscriptions from Anatolia and the levant tell us of their advances, but we're given more context: Usually the local armies were busy fighting elsewhere on behalf of their imperial overlords, leaving no one to fight at home. The Hittites as the one major empire that fell to the sea people, had been on the decline for a century already, ceasing to check repeated Egyptian advances into the northern Levant after Kadesh.

Demographically, the sea peoples' impact was limited. The levant spoke semitic before and after. Anatolia kept speaking Luwian (which had replaced Hittite while the Hittite empire was still around). The states that rose in the wake of the crisis spoke local languages, were populated by local ethnicities.

Most notably, empires that had no direct contact with the sea peoples contracted as well (Assyria). The crisis was thus very clearly not caused by the sea peoples, although they probably did cause the Hittite empire to go from "Crisis" to "Gone".

All in all, the bronze age collapse wasn't quite the collapsing event it is often said to have been. Few would consider the emergence of alphabets and iron into common usage to be negatives. The Aegean was hit hard, with the written word disappearing for four centuries, but this collapse was specifically Aegean. Nowhere else was hit as hard.

And rather than causing the crisis, the sea peoples were seemingly profiteurs of an economic, which is to say, food crisis among the old empires, striking at an opportune moment of weakness. And depending on their exact origin, may even have been vassals of the great empires who used a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain their freedom and their own overlords' riches.
