How far back might I have to go to have a full blooded African ancestor?

[Sikeliot]

I score, depending on the admixture run, as low as 0% African and as high as 2%.
When I score 0% my mother scores 1-2%. When I score 1%, she gets 3-4%.
So clearly some of the tests more quickly pick it up.

Admixture is visible in relatives born up to 1930. Anyone born after that looks fully white.

The African ancestry comes from Cape Verde, and is mostly from my great great grandmother, and I'd expect it to double from my mother to my grandmother, since my grandfather is Polish.

My great great grandmother, who looks around a quadroon and was from Cape Verde, was born ~1865.

When would I expect to see someone who looked nearly pure African?

The 1500s I would imagine.

In this case around at the beginning of 1800

Unless everyone was multigenerational quadroons and mulattoes going back to 1500 :lol: I have no way of knowing.

Probably never.

Cape Verde is not next to the classical Negroid areas of Africa.

Even the guanches were rather light. The Portuguese slaves from Namibia were not Negroid but Coon said they were a fifth race. Capoid.

For spain and portugal the slaves came early and they mixed quickly in all cases. So that is probably how far back you need to go to get 100% african. Of course aframs are about 25% european on average, so they might have looked fully african.
