Don't know why this is so interesting.
Many/most poeple from the Caribbean have some Indian/English/Dutch/French/Spanish mixed with African.
Central/South America (I just came back from Panama) are a good 70% mixed races and cultures.
My grandfather (Caribbean decent) has waivy hair and a few cousins have grey eyes and lighter skin color. So ?
Central Asia is the same way. A huge mix of European/ Russian and Asian features. Quite exotic. |

You have a very, very good point. However, it's more well-known those mixes you talk about - the mixture of Russian Europeans and Central Asians. Slightly less known is that the Uighur Muslims of China are essentially 60% Caucasian 40% Asiatic. They live in the area of the Taklaman mummies.
As far as the Caribbean, they were known for having mulattos. We know Colin Powell is Jamaican and light skinned and some know he has British ancestors including that of the Black Prince, Edward known for the slogan "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense-- evil to those who think evil". Jamaica and Barbados do have a small population of Europeans.
This happened in West Africa, namely in Nigeria. Nigeria is not so well-known for such a mix and some African Americans may try to say either that this indicates a mutation and include white genes as the scientists say or to use black pride and say whites are a mutation of the black race and this evidence of it, though there is no scientific proof of it.
I really did not know that the Igbo/Ibo of Nigeria who are Christians have many light skinned people. I just learned that. This is true before colonialism. Some even have blue eyes. It is also said they are not originally from West Africa and have some links to East Africa. East Africans, as we know, in some parts are essentially mulattos.
After looking at some of the pictures of the Igbo women, I can see a lot of them are quite beautiful. Anyway, it seems they are a more mixed people than other Nigerians along with the Fulani of Nigeria and they even say this on forums and talk about how they look different. |

Before ANY theories should circulate, it is imperative that they make certain it is genetically the child of BOTH of them.
This is basic logic.
The only reason the professors haven't stated that outright is likely tact. |
