That is because almost no African American whose ancestors are not recent immigrants from Africa lack white ancestry. (discovermagazine.com)
In this way, scientists were able to discover what is famously penned today in the popular culture as " Mitochondrial Eve ", the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA), which suggested that modern humans descended in a direct, unbroken, maternal line to a single female ancestor who lived approximately 100,000-200,000 years ago, most likely in East Africa.

Anthropologists have been divided as to whether Homo sapiens evolved as one interconnected species from H. erectus (called the Multiregional Model, or the Regional Continuity Model), or evolved only in East Africa, and then migrated out of Africa and replaced H. erectus populations throughout the Old World (called the Out of Africa Model or the Complete Replacement Model).

African Americans5
Characterizing the admixed African ancestry of African Americans My own inclination has been to not get bogged down in the latest race and IQ controversy because I don't have that much time, and the core readership here is probably not going to get any new information from me, since this is not an area of hot novel research. (discovermagazine.com)
In his posts on this topic Ta-Nehisi repeatedly points to the real diversity in physical type and ancestry among African Americans, despite acknowledging implicitly the shared preponderant history. (discovermagazine.com)
The above plot is from Characterizing the admixed African ancestry of African Americans , a 2009 paper with 94 Africans of diverse geographic origins, 136 African Americans, and 38 European Americans. (discovermagazine.com)
Social factors including slavery, black responses to a range of political conflicts, influences of immigration, and the varieties of genealogies that have constituted religious formations among African Americans contributed to the creation of formal Christian denominations, intentional communities of Orisha, and transnational movements of Islam. (oxfordre.com)
By examining how the IWW consistently advocated for, and recruited, workers of color in the US and SA, we argue that the anarchist/syndicalist tradition was the first in both countries to fully embrace oppressed races and peoples: African Americans, black Africans, and other workers of color. (theanarchistlibrary.org)
Americans5
A. That's a simplistic verbal shorthand Americans use to refer to ancestry. (vdare.us)
The limitations of Hollinger's analysis are quickly apparent when we consider just one of his "communities" of descent: Asian Americans. (historycooperative.org)
The differences have little to do with biology and far more to do with the history of racism and specific forms of White supremacy (the social, geopolitical and economic agendas of dominant Whites vis-à-vis subordinate Blacks and Native Americans) especially the different roles Blacks and Amerindians occupied in White-dominated 19th century America. (kss.org.pl)
In fact, the designation of this month is meant to remind us of the significance of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders within the fabric of the United States-historically, culturally, politically, economically, and spiritually. (asianstudies.org)
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders take their place, erased no longer, seated at tables of their making. (asianstudies.org)
Trace their ancestry2
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)
Most Indo-Guyanese trace their ancestry to the mid-1800s, when (East) Indian indentured servants were brought to Guyana, an English-speaking, continental West Indian country formerly known as British Guiana (1). (cdc.gov)
Hispanic2
Subjects identified themselves as belonging to one of four major racial/ethnic groups (white, African American, East Asian, and Hispanic) and were recruited from 15 different geographic locales within the United States and Taiwan. (blogspot.com)
From left to right, the FBI assigns the above individuals to the following races: White, Black, Hispanic, Asian. (kss.org.pl)
Africans1
However, often brutal conflicts between ethnic groups have existed throughout history and across the world, and racial prejudice against Africans also exists today in non-colonised countries such as China and Japan. (kss.org.pl)
Races4
And if you've followed along with me in my arguments, then you should be convinced that race is real, the groups we usually call races are social kinds, their social construction involves problematic notions, the categories themsevles came into existence from false views, their current existence is nonetheless real, and where racial boundaries are drawn can vary from place to place, across time, and even from conversation to conversation. (parableman.com)
If you followed me in my line of reasoning in the last post, you would also agree with me that there are groups that biology can identify that seem perfectly reasonably to call races but that are not remotely like the old biological theories of race and are much closer to the social kind races that we refer to in ordinary conversation. (parableman.com)
Our ordinary racial terms don't quite refer to precisely the same groups as these newly recognized biological races, however, so it wouldn't be accurate to say that these groups are the same races that we ordinarily speak of. (parableman.com)
A very important new article by a group of Greek and Chinese researchers provides the first quantitative assessment of mental processing in two groups of students, aged 8 to 14, belonging to the Caucasoid and Mongoloid races. (blogspot.com)
Racial groups2
Similarly, racial groups can be lumped into vast continental-scale agglomerations or split as finely as you like. (vdare.us)
But could you get another argument going, that we should implement a long-term strategy of getting ourselves to a point where anti-realism is in fact true, and then we can stop talking about these racial groups that have their origin in false and morally problematic ideas. (parableman.com)
America2
Yet, nobody in America ever thinks of Singh as black or African-American. (vdare.us)
The Indo-Guyanese population is one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in North America (1) and the largest immigrant minority population in Schenectady, New York. (cdc.gov)
Muslim1
For example, Muslim writers stated low intelligence among Blacks. (emilkirkegaard.com)
Humans2
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)
Anatomically modern humans (AMH), defined by a lightly built skeleton, a large brain, reduced face and prominent chin, first appear in the East African fossil record around 200,000 years ago [ 1 , 2 ]. (biorxiv.org)
Descent4
1. A group of persons related by common descent or heredity. (vdare.us)
Singh, who was born in the Fiji Islands of Asian Indian descent, is much darker in skin color than Woods. (vdare.us)
The celebration of Tiger Woods' mixed descent and his widespread popularity would seem to support David Hollinger's argument that the history of the United States has been a successful (albeit episodic) history of "amalgamation" overcoming group differences. (historycooperative.org)
There is no evidence, however, that at any time historically people have considered themselves "Asian American" because of a pan-Asian sense of shared descent, even if identities such as "Chinese" or "Japanese" might have been imagined categories of shared descent. (historycooperative.org)
Arctic2
the people that they replaced in the Arctic have disappeared as a distinct group (some apparently made it to 1900 or so) but both the. (juliarauchfrei.at)
These two trends culminated in the continental Arctic. (blogspot.com)
People3
Should we be classifying people into these groups? (parableman.com)
The Azande people live between the longest river in the world, the Nile river, and the Congo river on a continental divide that separates the two drainage basins. (benjaminbarber.org)
These aspects teach us of the importance of histories and heritage, not as fixed narratives, but as shifting resources in defining a group of people, both internally and externally. (asianstudies.org)

The story's author concluded that, "when we swallow Tiger Woods, the yellow-black-red-white man, we swallow … hope in the American experiment, in the pell-mell jumbling of genes. (historycooperative.org)
Biological1
division of social groups into categories with differential access to resources and status, assumed to be based on biological difference, but actually constructed socially. (kss.org.pl)
Ancient1
Thus, ancient geographic ancestry, which is highly correlated with self-identified race/ethnicity-as opposed to current residence-is the major determinant of genetic structure in the U.S. population. (blogspot.com)

It has long been known that many Mongoloid groups generally have higher IQ scores than Caucasoids, but the reasons for this difference have not been explained. (blogspot.com)
Small1
The field of Asian Studies plays no small role in contributing to that recognition. (asianstudies.org)

Indian1
Having very little intermarriage, this group is phenotypically and genotypically Indian and preserves its distinctive culture. (cdc.gov)
Unique1
This group brings unique issues, such as living in a largely Christian society, competing with the Nation of Islam, refuting stereotypes in the media and popular culture, finding a political voice, and coping with post-9/11 Islamophobia, all leading to the consideration of the prospects for a uniquely "American Islam" that reflects U.S. pluralism and (supposed) separation of "church and state.

History1
Although Manjirō's place in history has been secured by the happenstance of his arrival and his subsequent actions as a liaison between Japan and the United States, just the opposite might be said of the group of laborers noted by the second date highlighted in May. (asianstudies.org)
Common1
There may be myriad reasons for the historical rise of a sense of identity as "Asian American" during the 1970s-being lumped together by a census category, a common reaction to "anti-Oriental" racism, the desire to create political coalitions with shared causes, a sense of commonality born of sharing similar migration experiences in the United States.
