How do you separate Mestizos from Tri-Racials? What is the SSA cutoff point?

[samario]

My region is 58% caucasoid according to studies and that's minus the unassigned which is most likely MENA. My euro component is probably from the first colonizers in Hispaniola. My maternal surname only exists in Andalucia. It came from a small town in the interior of the Spanish region apparently. My paternal surname sounds like a deformation of a Portuguese one.



Not yet. But thanks for reminding me. I'll do it early tomorrow.

Wow you are almost an average costeño.

Costeños are probs more SSA, admittedly (some more than others depending on a lot of factors, etc.). I fit the national profile fairly well, though, as in all regions sprung into one. If that's even possible.

I can’t see native features in you, the euro and SSA is evident. I see you more in this mix (euro-ssa) rather than triracial.

I didn't say I look triracial. I was referring to other Dominicans that show clearly amerindian and score less than 10% native. My phenotype is clearly quadroonoid like you say.

[FountainOfSalmacis]

I haven’t seen many 10% SSA examples. However, I think 20% SSA is already noticeable, so the cut off point must be in between.

This new relative of mine has the genotype of the average Dominican.

Assuming the unassigned is overwhelming MENA (with a minor negroid) he is basically 55% caucasoid, 38% SSA and 7% native LMAO.

He has 1 granpa from Santo Domingo, 1 from San Juan (Southwest), 1 from Santiago (Cibao) and 1 from Peravia (South).

He is clearly a mixture of every corner of the country only missing the East. But honestly, Eastern DR has always been quite irrelevant culturally speaking in the DR except for the Virgen de la Altagracia...

^^^ He looks like a balanced mulatto.

This other is an old relative only scored 8% amerindian. I once posted him for classification and people said he looks mestizo. He has 3 grandpas from Bonao and 1 from Santo Domingo.

This guy is only 8% Amerindian? Would have guessed more tbh.

He is just the quickest example I could find. It seems is the rule for a lot of Caribbeans to look so triracial or even mestizo and score very little native DNA.

Same with some santeño people. Can look Balanced mestizo with small Amerindian DNA

Look another result.

The older generation of TA would probably classify him as indo-mestizo. I have to admit that this one is a more extreme example because he doesn't look that euro.

He got 6% of unassigned, so very likely that he is around 77% caucasoid.

72% caucasoid
16% SSA
5% native
