The term race refers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of characteristics and beliefs about common ancestry. (daynal.org)
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.

To demonstrate its capabilities, we compared the FST distributions of GenoChip SNPs to those of two commercial arrays for three continental populations. (blogspot.com)
Below are the two most important figures from the paper: a) the three-way mixture model that is a statistical fit to the data, and b) a plot of the proportions of ancestry from each of the three inferred ancestral populations. (blogspot.com)
Caucasoid1
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)
Races3
In 2020, Americans who identified as Asian alone (19,886,049) or in combination with other races (4,114,949) made up 7.2% of the U.S. population. (wikipedia.org)
According to Nicholas Wade, "Humans cluster into five continental groups or races, and within each race there are further subclusters. (thisviewoflife.com)
Conceptions of race, as well as specific ways of grouping races , vary by culture and over time, and are often controversial for scientific as well as social and political reasons. (daynal.org)
Descent4
Prior to being included in the "Asian" category in the 1980s, many Americans of South Asian descent usually classified themselves as Caucasian or other. (wikipedia.org)
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "Asian person" in the United States is most often thought of as a person of East Asian descent. (wikipedia.org)
In vernacular usage, "Asian" is usually used to refer to those of East Asian descent or anyone else of Asian descent with epicanthic eyefolds. (wikipedia.org)
Mongoloid - Asian, Native American, and Polynesian descent. (forensicfield.blog)
Whites2
HOWEVER, the Chinese - as do East Asians in general - only perform significantly (hugely) better than whites on visuo-spatial intelligence. (akarlin.com)
People of color can be prejudiced against whites but clearly do not have the power as a group to enforce that prejudice. (darkademic.co.uk)
Cluster2
This study is self-explanatory really, but two interesting findings are the emergence of a "Hispanic" racial cluster, which can be explained by the choice of a population sample from a single location, as Hispanics are generally heterogeneous racially, and the near-perfect differentiation of the Japanese from the Chinese in the Mongoloid cluster, suggesting the potential for subracial differentiation in future studies. (blogspot.com)
STRUCTURE is an algorithm designed to infer population structure (cluster individuals into ancestry groups) within a species (Pritchard, Stephens, and Donnelly 2000. (thisviewoflife.com)
Ethnic groups3
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)
Their aim is the extermination of the White Race, the genocide of all Indigenous White Ethnic groups and the eradication of all white ancestral cultures. (blogspot.com)
The lack of the letter 'F' in the pre-1987 Tagalog alphabet (Abakada) caused the letter 'P' to be substituted for 'F' , though the alphabets and/or writing scripts of some non-Tagalog ethnic groups included the letter 'F'. Upon official adoption of the modern, 28-letter Filipino alphabet in 1987, the term Filipino was preferred over Pilipino . (everipedia.org)
Ancestral4
STRUCTURE produces for individuals an estimate of the probability that a randomly chosen genetic marker (e.g. single tandem repeats, STR, or single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNP) from that individual originated from one of a set of ancestral groups. (thisviewoflife.com)
The number of ancestral groups, K, is chosen to produce a best estimate of these probabilities, which are averaged over all genetic markers to assign a membership coefficient, namely a fraction of each individual's ancestry to one of the ancestral groups (Feldman 2010. (thisviewoflife.com)
The ancestral groups are not specified in advance, and the population membership of individuals is removed prior to analysis. (thisviewoflife.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)
Tribes1
Scientists identify these Buryat tribes from the Baikal area who migrated into Southeast Asia, southwards into the Korean peninsula and into Eurasia, the Mongoloid tribes. (dakarctu.com)
Race3
On the other hand, we detected only modest genetic differentiation between different current geographic locales within each race/ethnicity group. (blogspot.com)
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)
Medieval models of "race" mixed Classical ideas with the notion that humanity as a whole was descended from Shem , Ham and Japheth , the three sons of Noah , producing distinct Semitic ( Asian ), Hamitic ( African ), and Japhetic ( European ) peoples. (daynal.org)
Origins6
Although this term had historically been used for all the indigenous peoples of the continent of Asia, the usage of the term "Asian" by the United States Census Bureau only includes people with origins or ancestry from the Far East, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent and excludes people with ethnic origins in certain parts of Asia, including West Asia who are now categorized as Middle Eastern Americans. (wikipedia.org)
After immigration laws were reformed during the 1940s-1960s, abolishing national origins quotas, Asian immigration increased rapidly. (wikipedia.org)
For example, since the removal of restrictive "national origins" quotas in 1965, the Asian American population has diversified greatly to include more of the peoples with ancestry from various parts of Asia. (wikipedia.org)
The most commonly used definition of Asian American is the U.S. Census Bureau definition, which includes all people with origins in the Far East, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. (wikipedia.org)
All of a sudden, men with origins in close proximity, even in this small group, found themselves on either side of a divide. (wanderingtrees.com)
The estimation of ancestry, or the biological and geographic origins of the individual according to their genetic history is an integral part of the biological profile. (forensicfield.blog)
Peoples2
The Miskito are not exactly an indigenous group, but a mixture of indigenous peoples and all the travellers who have passed through the Mosquito Coast over the last two centuries. (encyclopedia.com)
Aside from archeological and geological evidence, there are also some genetic similarities between Asians and indigenous Americans that support the idea of the Asian origin of indigenous American peoples. (encyclopedia.com)
Analyses2
Analyses of the 2010 census have shown that Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial group in the United States. (wikipedia.org)
I'm not a huge fan of this option when running fine scale intra-continental analyses, because I find that it usually results in severe projection bias. (blogspot.com)
Racial3
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)
In the mid-1990s, the main cultural-racial groups are mestizos, ind í genas, English- and Gar í funa-speaking Afro-Karib people, and a small Caucasian elite class. (encyclopedia.com)
Exception2
Haplogroup X originated in the western part of the Old World, and is not shared by most Mongoloids, with the exception of some Siberians and Native Americans. (blogspot.com)
In the discussion at the previous post, in which I took exception to Ron Unz's theory of the East Asian Exception, he alerted me to so additional work on the matter he'd done as a Harvard freshman on Chinese IQ. (akarlin.com)
People7
Chinese, Indian, and Filipino Americans make up the largest share of the Asian American population with 5 million, 4.3 million, and 4 million people respectively. (wikipedia.org)
Smedley 1999) As Europeans encountered people from different parts of the world , they speculated about the physical, social, and cultural differences among various human groups. (daynal.org)
Meltzer 1993) Drawing on Classical sources and upon their own internal interactions - for example, the hostility between the English and Irish was a powerful influence on early thinking about the differences between people (Takaki 1993) - Europeans began to sort themselves and others into groups associated with physical appearance and with deeply ingrained behaviors and capacities. (daynal.org)
Based on this evidence, Palaeolithic Mongoloid hunting people must have arrived at one point in Hokkaido from Siberia via Sakhalin which used to connect Hokkaido to mainland Asia. (dakarctu.com)
Mestizos - people of mixed Spanish-indigenous ancestry - make up about 77 percent of Nicaragua's population. (encyclopedia.com)
The Caucasian elite is formed by a small, but typically wealthy, group of people whose ancestors came from Europe - usually Spain , Germany , France , and England . (encyclopedia.com)
The term "indigenous" refers to people who not only have ancestors who came from Central or South America but who self-consciously identify themselves with a specific indigenous group or tribe, speak the language, and practice the customs of that group. (encyclopedia.com)
Specific1
Asian Americans are Americans of Asian ancestry (including naturalized Americans who are immigrants from specific regions in Asia and descendants of such immigrants). (wikipedia.org)
Atlantic2
The rise of the Atlantic slave trade , which gradually displaced an earlier trade in slaves from throughout the world, created a further incentive to categorize human groups in order to justify the subordination of African slaves. (daynal.org)
Among the groups living on the Atlantic coast that are commonly defined as indigenous are the Miskito, Sumu, and Rama. (encyclopedia.com)
Generally1
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)
Thought1
The first Mongoloid group is thought to have made their way through a corridor North of the Tibetan massif while the second Mongoloid group took the corridor South of the Himalayas heading in southerly direction into Kyushu or southeast Asia, then into Ryukyu islands. (dakarctu.com)
Common3
Changing patterns of immigration and an extensive period of exclusion of Asian immigrants have resulted in demographic changes that have in turn affected the formal and common understandings of what defines Asian American. (wikipedia.org)
Today, "Asian American" is the accepted term for most formal purposes, such as government and academic research, although it is often shortened to Asian in common usage. (wikipedia.org)
If I go by FTDNA aging estimates, there is a big gap between our group and our parent where there is missing information, but there is an even bigger gap between our common ancestor and the testers today. (wanderingtrees.com)
Chinese1
Mental processing is affected by both genes and environment, and these differ between Greeks and Chinese, as well as between most Caucasoids and Mongoloids in general. (blogspot.com)
Work1
Akshually, the process of immigrating to Russia for work is very easy for Central Asians. (akarlin.com)
Population1
These numbers equal 23%, 20%, and 18% of the total Asian American population, or 1.5% and 1.2% of the total U.S. population. (wikipedia.org)
Years1
Family Tree DNA has us all splitting from an ancestor around 700 BCE with about 1500 years between our group and its parent R-Z18, whereas other groups may have a few hundred years between a parent and a child branch. (wanderingtrees.com)
Largest1
If you've read any of my other Y DNA posts, you'll know that my perspective has been shaped quite a bit by being in a fairly small group of men within one of the largest groups in Europe. (wanderingtrees.com)
Small1
Our group was small near the beginning of the day though. (wanderingtrees.com)
Split1
Then we identified that some of us had an STR DYS458.2 that seemed to split the tiny group. (wanderingtrees.com)
