    haitians are more white than jamaicans

    i find that very hard to believe, when you consider the history of the islands (the massacres, the majority of slaves in Haiti during the revolution being African born, and what not)

    I agree, Haitians killed off almost all of the White people on the Haitian side of the island. Even the babies lol.....98% of the island consider themselves Black too, you don't see percentages like that on any Caribbean country.

    yes but alot of the people who seem 100% african actually had some white in them and that's why the % of the men with white genetics is so high.

    Anything is possible, Haiti is right next to DR, which did and does have a lot of White/Spaniard people. And Haiti and DR were the same nation for over 22 years. I'm still a little skeptical of that genetic study for some reason

    First pic shows Haiti only has 1.6% autosomal STRs, 19.8% Y Chromosome SNPs, and 23.4% Y Chromosome STRs in common with Europeans
    Jamaica has 12.6%, 19.3% and 23.5%

    Second pic shows the adamixture percentages for European genes to be 4.3% for Haiti and 16% for Jamaica


    Posting an abstract won't fool people who can actually look at the full articles.

    I read the results. Methodology and introduction are irrelevant to what the findings show and what is concluded in this instance.

    Indians brought weed and curry to Jamaica that doesn't mean they intermarried in great numbers. alot of Indians left Jamaica. your statement implies that there is a substantial Indian population in Jamaica and there is not

    my fam from all over the Caribbean so i love learning about Haiti and all that

    i don't even know if the grammar was right but "neg yo mon" means "my ? " in Kreyol. "neg" being ? (i'm told that neg doesn't hold the same connotation as ? in the United States and is used to refer to Haitian born Haitians (while blan refers to foreigners and foreign born Haitians regardless of race)), yo is the plural marker, mon is "my"

    i'm sure a Kreyol-speaker on this site can correct me if wrong

    the jamaican gene pool is more mixed, in other words we have a greater diversity when compared to haitians BUT HAITIAN men HAVE more genetic input from europeans. That's what the study says.

    Yeah I gotta hit up some of my Haitian fam and confirm, I'm sure you on the right track. I looked at it literally

    Neg often means farmer or something like that in Kreyol. But yep I'm proud of what the Haitians did to the slave owners and the ones who would grow up to be them lol

    Of course it's enough for the people here, they don't have access to the full articles. They can't verify if you're presenting the full picture nor what the full study actually says.

    No but for the purposes of this thread that's all i needed to do. If i wanted to present the full picture i would have to first read the whole thing and i am not doing that.The abstract presents enough information for people who are scientifically inept in their understanding. You really wanted me to give a full explanation FOH

    Best way for a Haitian American to learn Kreyol besides family is by having Haitian friends, period.
