Has the European genetic landscape changed at all within the past 500 years?

[sql]

If so, by how much? I am wondering because many colonial Americans, French-Canadians, and Mestizos seem to score some Caucasus region on AncestryDNA. It wouldn't make sense for them to have Caucasian admixture, so I was wondering if Western Europeans were more West Asia-shifted years ago.

We will know after next year.

Is there a study being conducted?

It is more like an social experiment. :rolleyes:

Explain please?

Don't worry bro, Syrian refugees will rise up the west asian component again lol.

Explain please?

Tens of millions of people in their prime reproduction age are invading Europe.

There is probably a founder effect; colonial ancestors came in small successive waves overtime from a larger one via immigration; so the genetic continuity will be somewhat homogeneous in the sense that they come from shared common areas from their country of origin as populations dissipate overtime.

Most of the migrants are not Syrian refugees.

There is no major change in native European genetics in the last 500 years. But with millions of Middle Easterners in Europe now and it seems more are on the way and entering every year, there could be some change as this population eventually mixes with native Europeans. Or they could remain separate and unassimilated and there could be less mixing. They could wound up like Gypsies possibly, in that sort of fashion, and it may be them that become mixed with European genetics. No one really knows yet. But it looks like the climate in Europe around immigration is boiling over lately and there may be some cataclysmic event that could happen in the future. Or not. Again, no one knows.

No, native people from each european country hasn't changed since 1515.

I know but many are Syrians. something like 60%

What about a Canarian scenario ? :cool:

It's 2015 minus 500.

Well that could be possible too. They could become a majority Euro population with recent North African/Middle Eastern admixture. No one knows yet.
