[A]t Pennsylvania State University, where about 90 students took complex genetic screening tests that compared their samples with those of four regional groups . . . [m]any of these students thought of themselves as "100 percent" white or black or something else, but only a tiny fraction of them, as it turned out, actually fell into that category. Most learned instead that they shared genetic markers with people of different skin colors.
Ostensibly "black" subjects, for example, found that as much as half of their genetic material came from Europe, with some coming from Asia as well. One "white" student learned that 14 percent of his DNA came from Africa - and 6 percent from East Asia. The student told The Daily Collegian, the student newspaper, earlier this year: "When I got my results I was like, there's no way they were mine. I thought it was just an example of what the test was supposed to look like. Then I was like, Oh my God, that's me."
Interesting.
Just keep shagging, foks. You're almost 100% "American".
It's a very very interesting study especially seeing how most people tend to identify themselves based upon perceived race and color.
Before degenerating into an argument about creationism, I think we discussed race as a social contruct rather than a biological one. Had to do with extension of patent rights on a drug for black people as I recall.
