The Study of Racialism

Thanks for sharing your results. Such results are not uncommon with regard to Y-chromosomes and mtDNA. Skip Gates was surprised to find that his Y-chromosome traced to "somewhere between Paris an ...

I concur as well.

There are a couple of unpublished studies of Melungeons (by a B. Jones of UV at Wise) and of Redbones (by A. Watts of Louisiana). If you wish, I could post their numbers. But, since the studies were n ...

From what I've been made to understand Japanese Brazilians don't intermarry as much as Japanese Americans. The few mixed-race ones you saw may have not have been representative or maybe they were spo ...

Question for the board for those who are in the know: Wasn't the term Latin America originally coined in Europe, specifically France?

I have read that it was coined in France in the middle 1800s.

I do know there is a study by Keyser, et al., that intentionally left out Whites from Louisiana and Texas, and the implication was that these states' Whites have higher levels of sub-Saharan admixture ...

I watched this last night, and it was informative. It seems as though the world's population of one million Homo Sapiens was reduced to scattered populations totaling about 30,000, after the eruption. ...

What race are they considered to be?

Not sure what you mean by "race," since biological races do not exist in humans. They were originally an Inuit, or Eskimo, people. Now, the population ...

Africans Have World's Greatest Genetic Variation

Bryan Sikes found Asian (unspecified) and African markers in Brits. I read a study showing that the Hemoglobin D disorder found in English and Irish people was brought to the British Isles from India.

People like Dienekes Pontikos and Racial Reality try very hard to "prove" that there is no African anestry in Greek and Italian (esp. Sicilian) populations. They go so far as to falsify stud ...

Excellent question! Either possibility (or both possibilities!) you mentioned could have contributed.

Central Asian genes are not uncommon in people of Mediterranean and Eastern European descent. E ...

Where did the majority of the earliest observed homo sapien North Africans come from, and when was this?

Those populations are Saharan not Sub-Saharan and are of the same stock as Northerners, but ...

Is it the case that EA and NA tend to show up as similar or confused across most services? (Perhaps due to the land bridge migration or simply because of a relative lack of Native American DNA samples ...

Since Spaniards speak a Romance language today, despite the influence of Germans after the fall of the Roman Empire (in the West) you would assume they left a pretty good genetic imprint...this does n ...

One thing I have noticed based on the bulk of Cubans I have met is that out of the many who have such overwhelming Caucasian admixture very few of them have light colored eyes. I wonder if this h ...

Sir Alcal is correct in that Italians settled in many places in Latin America, as did Germans, and of course Spaniards and Portuguese.

As for Puerto Ricans with Italian ancestry, I have read that t ...

Those results are indeed odd, Sadie. I must agree with you.

I'm curious about the Mestizo category that you supposedly have matches in. I'm not sure that New World Mestizos (or Filipino Mestizos) h ...
