However, it is recognized that the sample size is at present too small to exclude any competing hypothesis about a possible North African genetic contribution to the genesis of the Iberian peninsula populations. (blogspot.com)
Phylogeographic analyses show that the haplogroup composition of the ancient Iberians was very similar to that found in modern Iberian Peninsula populations, suggesting a long-term genetic continuity since pre-Roman times. (blogspot.com)
They also seem dead set into not testing for well known Iberian lineages like Y-DNA G2a (or even G, never mind discerning subclades of E) something that was already obvious in their previous attempt with mtDNA, and seem oblivious to some of the most important work on the population (haploid) genetics of the Iberian Peninsula such as Adams 2008 .

Pacific Islander7
With 286,145 Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians residing in California - which of course is located on the Pacific Coast - the Golden State is second only to the Aloha State in terms of Pacific Islander residents. (freepress.org)
From June 2-3 the Pacific Islander Festival at the Aquarium of the Pacific highlighted America's other ethnic groups. (freepress.org)
Many of the performances took place in the Aquarium's Honda Blue Cavern - a gigantic glass encased watery habitat full of sea life such as moray eels, leopard sharks and giant sea bass, providing a perfect backdrop for the Oceanic entertainers (who are mostly SoCal-based individuals of Pacific Islander origins). (freepress.org)
Upolu, Western Samoa-born Marlena Vaifale of the Pacific Islander Health Partnership presided over a table with a kava bowl, used for making that mildly narcotic Oceanic elixir kava , popular from Samoa to Pohnpei, plus an excellent display packed with heaps of information about Fa'a Samoa - the Samoan Way. (freepress.org)
Pacific Islander Americans (also colloquially referred to as Islander Americans ) are Americans who are of Pacific Islander ancestry (or are descendants of the indigenous peoples of Oceania or of Austronesian descent). (cloudfront.net)
Pacific Islander Americans make up 0.5% of the U.S. population including those with partial Pacific Islander ancestry, enumerating about 1.4 million people. (cloudfront.net)
Pacific Islanders may be considered Oceanic Americans , but this group may include Australians and New Zealander-origin people, who can be of non-Pacific Islander ethnicity. (cloudfront.net)
Indigenous2
Oceania's indigenous peoples have populated the region for several millennia and at times have displaced other indigenous populations on neighboring islands. (cumorah.com)
The territories of modern-day Ecuador were once home to a variety of Indigenous groups that were gradually incorporated into the Inca Empire during the 15th century. (cloudfront.net)
Native American3
It appears that Australian or more accurately, Australo-Melanese DNA has been found in South America's Native American population. (dna-explained.com)
They indicate that there is a "clean split" between the Native American population and the Koryak about 20,000 years ago. (dna-explained.com)
The legacy of both empires is reflected in Ecuador's ethnically diverse population, with most of its 17.8 million people being mestizos , followed by large minorities of Europeans , Native American , African , and Asian descendants. (cloudfront.net)
Mitochondrial2
This admixture was first discovered via mitochondrial DNA, but full genome sequencing confirmed their ancestry and added the twist that they were not admixed - an extremely unexpected finding. (dna-explained.com)
Their recent research showed the mitochondrial DNA of 30 Jomon bodies was close to that of the Buryat population of southern Siberia, while DNA of only three bodies was close to that of the Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese populations. (dakarctu.com)
Genetics1
In regions of the world such as Central Asia, East Africa, or Latin America where traditional physical anthropology has believed that intermixture of races has created mixed-race populations, genetics has invariably shown the hybridity of these populations. (blogspot.com)
Genomic1
From a genomic perspective, we are all Africans," he said with clear assurance-his work has also helped to show that all humans can trace their ancestry far back to a small population of Africans who later expanded and spread out across the globe. (popular-archaeology.com)
Genetic4
Ethnic groups may share a narrow or broad spectrum of genetic ancestry, depending on group identification, with many groups having mixed genetic ancestry. (wikipedia.org)
Human genetic variation is often summarised in terms of hierarchical population genetic structure. (biomedcentral.com)
In 1972, Lewontin estimated, using blood group and protein polymorphism data, that about 6.3 per cent of genetic variation was explained by differences among seven groups that he termed 'races' [ 10 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Scientists have determined that the Jomon (and Ryukyuan and Ainu) people carry a genetic marker called the ab3st haplotype or blood marker that is shared by Mongoloid populations, found today among the Korean, Tibetan, Tungus, Eskimo and Yakut peoples, and that marker is commonest among the Buryat people living around Lake Baikal. (dakarctu.com)
Ethnic8
An ethnicity or ethnic group is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. (wikipedia.org)
By way of language shift, acculturation, adoption, and religious conversion, individuals or groups may over time shift from one ethnic group to another. (wikipedia.org)
Ethnic groups may be divided into subgroups or tribes, which over time may become separate ethnic groups themselves due to endogamy or physical isolation from the parent group. (wikipedia.org)
Although both organic and performative criteria characterise ethnic groups, debate in the past has dichotomised between primordialism and constructivism. (wikipedia.org)
Earlier 20th-century "Primordialists" viewed ethnic groups as real phenomena whose distinct characteristics have endured since the distant past. (wikipedia.org)
Perspectives that developed after the 1960s increasingly viewed ethnic groups as social constructs, with identity assigned by societal rules. (wikipedia.org)
The term ethnic group was first recorded in 1935 and entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 1972. (wikipedia.org)
The term may also be used with the connotation of something unique and unusually exotic (cf. "an ethnic restaurant", etc.), generally related to cultures of more recent immigrants, who arrived after the dominant population of an area was established. (wikipedia.org)
20202
The next U.S. census in 2020 will likely reveal a significant increase in the number of Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians whose voyages have taken them to the USA. (freepress.org)
Its permanent population is over 119,000 as of the 2020 census, with more than half living on Tarawa atoll. (alamoana.net)
Racial3
The sense of "different cultural groups", and in American English "tribal, racial, cultural or national minority group" arises in the 1930s to 1940s, serving as a replacement of the term race which had earlier taken this sense but was now becoming deprecated due to its association with ideological racism. (wikipedia.org)
It is most often used to describe negative racial discrimination or prejudice, however this fails to recognise that positive discrimination-such as racial pride, or where racial groups are afforded special exceptions or treatment-is effectively the same thing. (darkademic.co.uk)
Racism is also sometimes incorrectly identified as being limited to institutionalised prejudice, whereby it is claimed that only those belonging to certain "privileged" or "powerful" racial groups can be legitimately regarded as racist. (darkademic.co.uk)

They then compared these results with a reference panel of 3053 individuals from 169 populations which included the ancient Saqqaq Greenland individual at 400 years of age as well as the Anzick child from Montana from about 12,500 years ago and the Mal'ta child from Siberia at 24,000 years of age. (dna-explained.com)
This leads scholars to conclude that, apart from the Mongoloid group that had made their way into Hokkaido, there must have been a second Mongoloid group (also originating from the ancestral Baikal Buryat people) who must have made their way from Siberia and into the southern Ryukyan part of the Japanese archipelago (and later Kyushu) via the other land bridge across the Tsushima Strait from the Korean peninsula. (dakarctu.com)
Races1
Islander Americans are often mixed with other races, especially European and Asian, due to Pacific Islanders being a small population in most communities in mainland U.S. For instance, most Hawaiian Americans are only part Hawaiian in ethnicity. (cloudfront.net)
Modern3
Putative 'Paleoamerican' relict populations, including the historical Mexican Pericúes and South American Fuego-Patagonians, are not directly related to modern Australo-Melanesians as suggested by the Paleoamerican Model. (dna-explained.com)
There is a history buried deep within our living genes, a history that could possibly take us back to glimpse the primordial soup of our human ancestry, perhaps even as far back as the ancient proto-humans who walked the world long before modern humans. (popular-archaeology.com)

Individuals3
As of 2010 Hawaii had 355,816 people of Pacific Island heritage, including about 200,000 Hawaiians, who are defined as individuals tracing at least part of their ancestry to the original Polynesian inhabitants of Hawaii prior to the 18th century arrival of the English explorer Captain Cook.

The Spanish converted much of the population in Micronesia to Catholicism prior to the twentieth century whereas Christian missionary groups converted virtually the entire population of other nations in Oceania during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. (cumorah.com)
Overall the economy of Oceania remains underdeveloped primarily due to limited natural resources and a small population distributed over large geographical area. (cumorah.com)
Gene flow4
Subsequent gene flow resulted in some Native Americans sharing ancestry with present-day East Asians (including Siberians) and, more distantly, Australo-Melanesians. (dna-explained.com)
The paper included the gene flow and population migration map, above, along with dates. (dna-explained.com)
Evidence of gene flow between the two groups was also found, meaning between the Athabascans and the Inuit . (dna-explained.com)
