    Default Is most of the European ancestry amongst Dominicans due to recent input?

    Also is it due to colonial Europeans or European immigration.

    Is this even a serious question? The answer is no and it's too obvious LMAO.

    Also, the current European migration in DR is almost insignificant. Our major immigrant groups are the Haitians (between 1.2-2 million), the Chinese (around 40,000-60,000) and the Venezuelans (around 50,000). Spaniards make a total of only like 7,000 souls and they re all stational workers in the resorts since most of these hotels are owned by Spanish multinationals meaning that they leave the country after retirement. You sound like a troll.

    I don't know a lot about Dominican population history, but my understanding is that the country was largely abandoned due to by war, occupation, rebellion with Haiti from around 1800-1840, and resettled around the 1840s. Did a large number of Cubans, Puerto Ricans, or others migrate there in the period after that. Are Dominicans largely descended from the pre 1800 population, or later arrivals...maybe poorer Cubans, Puerto Ricans looking for farmland in a depopulated area.

    And while the majority of Dominicans are of mixed African-Spanish and maybe Taino ancestry, white Dominicans are often very directly Spanish looking in a way that white-identified Puerto Ricans often aren't (e.g. Oscar de la Renta, Porfirio Rubirosa, Andres Garcia). Maybe they are not of really recent origin but more 19th century.
