RE: DNA test to curb racism - An experiment in psychology

in #psychology7 years ago

A similar study was made in Portugal I think 12 years ago but with a big sample from all the country.
Only 3 % of the Portuguese had blood without genes from Africa ( south, center and north African genes in 97% of the population).
Made a lot of fuzz in the media because lots of people were offended and disturbed.
The invasions of North Africa and the slaves and natives brought from the ancient Portuguese colonies mixed their genes in the actual genetic pool.
Ha, the ones with called "pure" Portuguese blood live in the 2 biggest mountains of Portugal, that were never invaded.

Yes it's a funny old thing when we actually look back at who we once were and not get so obsessed with what we appear to be now! Thanks for reading & commenting :)
