Caribbean Origins | History, Migrations & DNA

3 жыл бұрынIn 1492 AD, Christopher Columbus famously sailed across the Atlantic and landed in the Americas. He and his men were the first Europeans to wash up in the Bahamas, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and eastern Cuba. On his return to Spain, the controversial explorer reported that the Caribbean was a land of gold laden islands. His brother, Bartholomew, later returned to the Americas and identified Hispaniola’s land and indigenous people as potentially profitable for the Spanish crown. Bartholomew estimated about 1.1 million people lived on Hispaniola, but modern scholars have generally used the range of 250,000 to a million people. However, the actual Caribbean aboriginal population is now known based on a new Caribbean DNA study published in the journal Nature, which fuses decades of archaeological work with cutting edge genetic technology. This breakthrough study shows that the local population before the arrival of the Spanish was much lower and far less heterogenous than thought.
Archaeologists and anthropologists know that the Caribbean was one of the last parts of the Americas settled by humans, but a new study of DNA has revealed when, how, and where the original Caribbean inhabitants came from.
Professor David Reich of the Harvard Medical School led a team of researchers who analyzed “the genomes of 263 individuals,” representing the largest ever study of ancient human DNA in the Americas. The Caribbean DNA study concluded that the Caribbean had been settled by two major migratory waves of highly mobile people, separated by thousands of years. However, according to an article by the Florida Museum of Natural History , on their way to this conclusion, the researchers developed a new genetic technique for estimating the island’s past population size, prior to the first Spanish landings.
A new paper studying ancient DNA from the Caribbean, posted this week on bioRxiv, explains that the Caribbean has one of the most culturally diverse mixes of human beings on the planet, but it was one of the last places in the Americas to be occupied by people between 8000 and 5000 years ago. Where these early migrants came from has always been a mystery until this study of ancient DNA probed into the deep history of the Caribbean and the story discovered by the researchers is one of “migration and cultural mingling” revealing how descendants of the first inhabitants interacted with new waves of migrants who arrived about 2800 years ago.

Spainards didn't know how to sail until about the 1400s so yes, the canaries could have been populated with folks from the African continent and also DO NOT confuse the folks that dominate the northern portion of Africa today as the original inhabitants. they are invaders and not original to that land as well.

The island of Dominica, named Waitikubuli by the Kalinagos (previously named the Caribs), has the only existing group of natives in the Caribbean. They were said to have been fiercer than the other native Indians, and since Dominica is very mountainous, they were able to thrive there. It is important to note that there was also a group of Arawaks on the island as well, by it was said that they were not as fierce as the Kalinagos to stand up against the invasions of the Europeans and so they died out. Today, they mostly live in an area called the Kalinago Territory, on the eastern part of the island. My great-great-grand mother was Kalinago.

About 2,500-3,000 years ago, farmers and potters related to the Arawak-speakers of northeast of actual Venezuela established a second pathway into the Caribbean. Using the delta fingers of Orinoco River Basin like highways, they travelled from the interior to coastal Venezuela and pushed north into the Antilles islands of the Caribbean Sea, settling Puerto Rico and eventually moving westward. Their arrival ushered in the region’s Ceramic Age, marked by agriculture and the widespread production and use of pottery. Over time, nearly all genetic traces of Archaic Age people vanished, except for a holdout community in western Cuba that persisted as late as European arrival. Intermarriage between the two groups was rare, with only three individuals in the study showing mixed ancestry. Many present-day Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are the descendants of ancient people from Venezuela , as well as European immigrants and enslaved Africans. But researchers noted only marginal evidence of Archaic Age ancestry in modern individuals.

Obviously! Spanish (and Portuguese) were already a mix of ethnicities when they first got to South America 1492-1500. In 1480 Portugal got to West Africa for the 1st time by Diogo Cão establishing cities and trade ports to the south that would trade mostly gold, ivory and slaves. In 1496-98 Portugal was the 1st to sail from Europe to India around Africa's Coast by Vasco da Gama. Establishing trade routes between Europe and Asia that would be used by a lot of European Empires for centuries. Portugal traded with India, Japan and China. That's how Goa (India) was a Portuguese Colony and Macau (China) too. Portuguese and Spanish were once the same kingdom before the Age of Discovery (15th-17th). And before the existance of both Kingdoms the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal+Spain) was inhabited by Phoenicians, Carthaginians (Berbers from North Africa), Celts, Celtiberians, Iberians, Visigoths. Plus the Roman and the Muslim Moors invasions that took centuries resulted in a big mix of ethnicities. Those afterwards mingled with African Slaves and Indigenous in South America giving birth to "Latinos" and "Mulatos". You should see a video here called "Latinos take DNA test" and its review videos. They all have traces from Europe, Africa, Middle-East, Asia... beside Indigenous DNA from the several South American Territories.

The narrative of Columbus is greatly overstated - check what present day historians are now saying about him - his infamous name was actually a sudonym - he was born in Portugal and not Italy as incorrectly believed. His prominence in world history was established by nothing less than academic dishonesty and laziness, by an older generation of older historians.

I really like the documentary but like many other people said, it is missing a lot of key points. It would have been nice to also cover the origins of the caribes in venezuela and Colombia. Their descendants are still alive and speak variations of the original language. Which is also very different to the other languages families in the areas. The came from the Caribbean and settled in the mainland around the coastal and river areas but didn't not venture too far inland

honestly i think 140 blood samples from ppl is insufficient to determine ancestry in the Caribbean. reason being that after the Spanish killing huge populations of the natives they went into hiding on the most densely forested areas of their islands. so, if scientist really wanted to get dna from their descendants they would have to go to the center of each island. furthermore they will also need to test more than 100 ppl in each island (the same number of ppl for each island).

Area was referred to as the Free peoples quarter during colonization and Kalinago or Caribs, Mixed, peoples, free people and People who gad runaway from Enslavement. Markers are present in artifacts, structures, customs like Kassava flour, sweet potatoes, basket weaving, dug-out canoes, words with (ou) like Manikou, Agouti, Zandolie etc. It is said that they decided to leave on the west coast of the island where the rougher seas of the Atlantic made it difficult for the large European ships to navigate. The mountainous regions had poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, mosquitoes, etc. Colonizers were recorded as calling it some of the most inhospitable environments for settlers.
