For comparison, if native Americans get assimilated into the US gene pool, they’ll be something like 2% of our genome.

- Camillo 5y agoNo, 2% is the percentage of US population that identifies as Native Americans, but it's a highly mixed population. The percentage of actual NA DNA in the US gene pool is certainly much less than 1% at this point.
- ummonk 5y agoYeah, I could be off with that ballpark figure. Was being generous and assuming that native genes amongst those who don’t identify as native would outweigh non native genes amongst those who do identify as native.
