View Full Version : Who are more Germanic -- African Americans, Iberians, or Sicilians?

African Americans are on average 80-85% SSA, and the rest European, most of which is English, Scottish, and Irish.
I would imagine that unless Sicilians or Iberians are 10% or so Germanic, African Americans have to be the most actually descended from Germanic Europeans of the bunch.

Probably about the same, if we are to isolate Iron Age Germanic admixture.
This woman is very Germanic, she has known Scottish roots

69% SSA
31% Europe (28% England, Wales & Northwestern Europe, 2% Ireland & Scotland, 1% Germanic Europe)

The African Americans only if they have British descent, the Iberians continue with 5% of Germanic genetics and finally the Sicilians of the latter only come up with the possible genetics of the Normans.

Iberians, they share the most blood in common with Germanic people.

germanic isolated, its afram > sicilian > iberian, but if we're measuring which has more genetic affinity with germanic peoples then the list would be the exact opposite sequence.

The Sicilians have no more Germanic blood than the Iberians.

obviously iberians have the most, then follows the Aframs who are about 15-20% colonial admixed, then sicilians

OK, but I would consider most direct Germanic ancestry and most 'Germanic' two different things.

Considering "Germanic" as having ancestry from any germanic speaking country, then i would say African-Americans. I would say they are also more germanic than most non-germanic europeans, nevermind iberians or sicilians.

African Americans have all of the types of Germanic input in the British Isles (Danish Viking, Norse, Angles, Saxons, etc) mixed with Celtic for their European ancestry.

The problem is, considering that Brits are around 30% Germanic, if African-Americans are 20% British on average they would be only 6% Iron Age Germanic. I'm pretty sure Iberians and Sicilians would have more than that.

Also that is y-dna, whereas my question is about autosomal DNA. Sicilians have marginal if any Germanic autosomal DNA because by the time Normans arrived in Sicily they had been heavily mixed with Gallic peoples.

It's a proven genetic fact. Germanic admixture on the other hand on an autosomal level (i.e. something that can be quantified in percentages of total genome) is not. No study has shown on an autosomal level that Sicilians have Norman DNA. It is likely only reflected in the y-dna but autosomally has been reduced to nothing.

You think Irish Catholics owned the plantations and were the main slave-holders? Most Irish Catholics didn't arrive in the US till the potato famine approx 1850s. They weren't the main population mixing with slaves. Plantation owners were overwhelmingly Protestants of English and Scots-Irish descent.

There is no way to differentiate Germanic admixture from Bell Beaker and other Northwestern Europe related stuff with ADMIXTURE. We will only know for sure after a lot of samples from Italy across space and time. Unfortunately, scholars are more interested in locating the theoretical, ethereal PIE homeland.

One can imagine how little Germanic aDNA Iberians must have then, their showing even less Germanic y-haplogroups than Sicilians. So why do you seem to suggest Iberians have more? Are you that anthrotard to not realize the Iberian ''northern''-shift is due to Beaker and Celtic people? Do you also think that pre-Anglo-Saxon Iron Age Britons were northern-shifted compared to modern Sicilians because of Germanic DNA?

Sicilians do not have a northern shift. So their Germanic input autosomally is reduced to almost nothing. Autosomal DNA matters more than haplogroups. That Norman ancestor with haplogroup I1 has likely been dissolved into the gene pool by mixing first with Gallic people in France and then with Italic, Greek, Levantine and North african mixed Sicilians. It's almost nothing.
As for Iberians, they aren't mixed with Germanic either.

You misinterpreted my question, I thought Irish immigrants in late 19th century and Aframs had closer relation and cohabitation because of their poor social condition than for example Scandinavians, of course most of the plantations were owned by WASP.
Irish people were in fact more of a victim of forced labor in Caribbeans alongside Africans, hence why I thought Aframs could have mixed more with them rather than Germanics.

Irish immigrants didn't mix with Aframs particularly. Most Aframs got their white admixture from the slave days and looking at 23andMe and Ancestry results their British admixture is British in the majority which makes sense i.e. on 23andMe most have Great Britain under their British & Irish category when an area is listed because they usually don't get a very large amount anyway. Not sure what you mean by "Germanics" either?
I hope my tone is okay. I'm don't want to come across as rude. :) Historically most Irish went to the urban areas especially places on the Eastern seaboard and Chicago.
The facts of the matter is that the Irish and whites on the lower socioeconomic ladder in the US were mostly in competition with African-Americans. There was a lot of antagonism between these groups. People tend to romanticise things but unfortunately people didn't always treat each other well. It was not only Irish at that time that were in competition for these jobs but also Germans and other poor whites. These people were antagonistic against black Americans.
