OK if we go with the presumption that the Native Americans descend from ancient people who crossed the Bering Straight 10,000+/- years ago - that would mean that Native Americans share some common ancestry with Europeans Asians.
Civilizations and Empires have changed over the past 10,000 years. Just in more recent times the Babylonians, Romans, Egyptians, Byzantines, Greeks , Japanese, Chinese and you know of so many others. All these peoples intermingled over 10,000 years. Even if you take a 100% biblical view we all share a common ancestor in Noah.
My point is partly a question - how did the Native Americans get to the Americas back in the day before they even had ships capable of crossing the ocean, and when people thought they would sail off the edge of the flat earth if they tried? Obviously they had to migrate here and one of the theories is they came across what is now Siberia and into what is now Alaska and Canada and migrated south to the warmer climates.
More directly my point is, if we all took a genetic test, it is likely we would all find, like Warren, at least a 1/1024th common ancestor with the Native Americans. If you go back far enough reflecting one of these ancient peoples and the integration of the various tribes, civilizations and empires it is statistically very likely. Researchers speculate were only between 1 million and 10 million Homo Sapiens walking on earth 10,000 years ago. And just a few 100,000 if you go back a few thousand years more.
It would be interesting for others interested in the politics of this - maybe get a group of a few dozen or a few score of people to take the same test as Warren took, and we’d find that her claim of ancestry also applies to every single one of us. She’s probably not special in this regard in any way shape or form except that she’s tried to make herself out to be something special for the political and financial gain she could exploit from it.
well said -
BUT we all would have to take the dna test in a blind study with the same company/tester.
Then it would be revealing..
I wonder if Fauxcha went DNA test shopping and created the media event with the best results, lol...
ALSO,
We might be interested in the paper work that she submitted when she was busily flipping houses on foreclosures.. did she get loans because she is a MINORITY borrower??
