It has almost nothing to do with genotype, since two brothers often can have two different descriptions. uhhh the only white features he has is her hair. I'm talking like this: ![]() I met a Dominican who looked like that once The picture I posted does not have European hair. |

No, I meant his hair wasn't helixed, but "good" mixed hair. Derek Jeter's hair is not exactly like White people I see like for instance Arnold S. or Triple H.

Where have you read this? I only wondered because you've said two opposing things and thought perhaps you read something between the two posts. Wikipedia Always a reliable source. |

Location: Dominican Republic Join date: September 2008 Member #: 1388 Posts: 14 | RE: Taino Ancestry Among Dominicans @Baracutei , what are the indegenous haplogroup differences between the cibao and the south as far as the older population thing you where talking about, also what haplogroup is this unique African ethnic group. I am curious because i'm gonna take an Mtdna test one of these days, to see where i fall, but phenotypically my mtdna is either indegenous or african leaning more toward indegenous going by the looks of my great great grandmother. @Other posters I dont think that many canarians came into d.r, and you have to remember that Canarians traveled alot back and forth and many times didnt say in places, hence why they brought words like Guagua (an indegenous word 'wawa' from Cuba into the canary islands. D.R was not an ideal colony for people to settle from affar in large numbers specially canarians. Culturally D.R doesnt have alot of canarian culture, where as puertorico and cuba developed very serious Decima traditions, and complex sets of guitar's and european dance forms. The whites that came into D.R mostly mixed into the culture, and began adopting indegenous and african forms of life, rather then the other way around. Canarians from lousiana actually sound alot like Cubans, and look alot like Cubans. I think cuba had the most canarian immigration followed by puertorico and venezuela, d.r had less. |

Hermano Lemba, The people from the Azua region who tested positive for Native mtDNA were mostly of the D haplo group. The poeple in the Cibao are either haplo group A or C which is what Tainos are basically composed of. The sequence according to what I have been told appears to be from an earlier migration. It could be that the ciboney intermarried with the arriving Arawaks in this region earlier than others. I think many people (not you of course) have it in their minds that Tainos were a single ethnic group when in fact they were mixed blood. Sometimes I am asked if I am "pure" indian and I always reply , yes I am purely mixed! About the special African halpo group: I have not heard more on this, but I am very excited about it as you are. It is almost as though and entire ethnic group came intact to the DR. This is one group of people (in my opinion) that we can trace back not only genetically but also culturally and see where they left their mark in the Dominican People of today. Truly exciting stuff! BTW you are 100 % correct in regards to the Canarians. Teh word wawa (guagua) is of Indigenous origen. I have spoken to many canarians and they attribute much of their particular brand of Spanish to Latin AMerican influence since most canarians who migrated to Latin America usually returned home, bringing with them cultural and linguistic traits found today there. All the best my friend Baracutei |

My pic is a mulatto, one of them is not Black as a matter of fact and they are too damn different to be of the same stock(like Tony Jaa and Jackie Chan). And if he is Black to you, then that's why we have the "moreno fino" saying. |
