@garyclarke54172 ай бұрын
People talk about how clean Praia is, unfortunately this is not true everywhere. On Sal island (Which is the most popular island for tourists) the centre of the main tourist town, Santa Maria, is kept quite clean, but walk just a few minutes from the centre and it is horrifically dirty and you are still surrounded by small hotels and tourist apartment buildings so you are not "Out in the sticks" so to speak. There is so much rubbish, dog faeces and building rubble everywhere it really is disgraceful for an Island that relies so heavily on tourism. if you ask a local person about the things that are not good on Sal they will all say the same thing "All the money stays in Praia". Don't get me wrong, I like being on Sal in winter, the climate and longer hours of daylight compared to the UK is an obvious bonus, and the local people are generally nice and pretty laid back, but the lack of cleanliness in Santa Maria is disgraceful and makes me wonder if this is true on other Islands.
@WillieFungo2 ай бұрын
Santa Maria was definitely odd. But i think the problem there is that it is basically deserted. No one seems to actually live there. On the other hand, Espargos actually looked like a normal clean city.

@WillieFungo3 ай бұрын
No, the DNA testing shows the paternal line for creole Cape Verdeans is mainly from Portugal and Europe generally. The reason is that very few European women were willing to move to Cape Verde. So the white settlers reproduced with African women. A large majority of the male slaves in such conditions did not reproduce. Around 30% of the population is badiu or "black" Cape Verdeans who will have both paternal and maternal African ancestry. But this will still be heavily slanted towards maternal.

I'm going to stick to my quality sources such as the National Library of Medicine, BioRX, and "Tracing African Roots", which sampled over 200 Cape Verdean 23&me results and found that vast majority of their African DNA came from Senegambia and Guinea. Also, don't tell me what I "meant". Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau, all have the same DNA profile. Third, the Portuguese had very limited operations in Angola at the time of Cape Verdean colonization in the 15th century. I see that you are trying to "correct" me all over this page.
