Europeans lying again!!!
I told Capra that these Eurasian researchers were lying when they make shyte like the Islanders off the coast of Africa were uninhabited. Cape Verde. If we had our own labs and samples this would be resolved already. The pattern is consistent with R1b/R1b-V88 off the coast of Africa and on mainland Africa since the Holocene. We know R1b was present in the Canary Islands
BEFORE the supposed Iberians colonized these Islands. Berbers can migrate across open waters but not their sibling further south?? Lies! Lies! and more lies! If they do a deep dive on the samples and analyzed the haplotypes we would know for sure. But they wouldn’t. Why? Understand the game.

Y-Chromosome Lineages in Sao Tome Prıncipe Islands - Evidence of European Influence - RITA Gonzales
Abstract
The Y-chromosome haplogroup composition of the
population of São Tomé e Príncipe (STP) archipelago was analyzed using 25 biallelic markers and compared with populations of different origins from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Two main Y-chromosome haplogroups were found: E3a, very common among sub-Saharans accounts for 84.2% of the paternal lineages and
R1b, typical of West Eurasia, represents 8.7% of the overall male population. Nevertheless, we detected in the population of STP
a significant heterogeneous distribution of R1b among the two main ethnic groups of the archipelago: Forros (10.3%) and Angolares (6.6%). Together, haplogroups known to be prevalent in West Eurasia reach 12.5% of the chromosomes analyzed unequally distributed among the two groups: Forros present 17.7% while Angolares display only 8.2% of west Eurasian haplogroups. Our findings suggest that, despite its sub-Saharan genetic background,
a relevant contribution of European paternal lineages is present in nowadays STP population. This influence has shown to be stronger in Forros than in Angolares, which could be explained by the social isolation that these have last experienced through their history.
Sao Tome´ e Prıncipe (STP) islands, located in the Gulf of Guinea, 300 km from the West coast of Africa, were **discovered uninhabited** by Portuguese sailors in 1470 (Peres, 1960).
Xyyman comment: Yeah riiight! Uninhabited?The majority of Sa˜o Tome´ population speaks Forros, a mixed dialect between Portuguese and Bantu languages used by liberated slaves, known as Forros, considered the most ancient African inhabitants of the archipelago (Henriques, 2000;
The
Angolares community that inhabits Sa˜o Tome´ Island has
resisted to miscegenation and still maintains their one own Bantu language. The
origin of the Angolares people remains unknown and popular belief tells they are descends of the
survivors of a slave shipwreck in the middle of the 16th century roaming from the West coast of Africa (Henriques, 2000; Romana, 1997).
A study on b-globin haplotypes and eight autosomal markers (APOA1, AT3, FY, LPL, OCA2, RB1, Sb19.3, and GC) indicated that the peopling of Sa˜o Tome´ provided
the combination of
diverse African contributions and European admixture (10.7%)that emerged from the overseas population relocations promoted by the Atlantic slave
trade (Tomas, 2002). A previous study on seven Y-chromosome STR loci detected haplotypes,
most likely of European ancestry on Sa˜o Tome´ e Principe, showed statistically significant
differences between Angolares and Forros (Trovoada et al., 2001).
The
second most common haplogroup in Sa˜o Tome´ e Principe is R1b (8.7%), a typical haplogroup from Western Europe, most likely carried by Portuguese settlers suggesting their genetic contribution to this population. R1b is more predominant among
Forros (10.3%) than Angolares (6.6%) ethnic groups. Clade R1 is the most frequent and
Haplogroup R1b was found to be the most dominant Y chromosomal lineage in Portugal,
including the North Atlantic archipelagos
of Azores and Madeira, covering more than half (55%) of the Y chromosomal lineages in each population (Gonc¸alves et al., 2005).
More than
17% of Caboverdean Y-chromosomes are R1b, a West European influence in the archipelago settlement process (Gonc¸alves
et al., 2003). Other haplogroups found in STP show only marginal frequencies (Fig. 1).
Haplogroup I, also a characteristic clade for many different
European populations, constitute
2% of STP population. Among Forros this percentage
reaches 4.4%. Haplogroups P* and G, with a
Eurasian origin, and F*, Middle East origin, were found in only one individual each in STP. Considering haplogroups of West Eurasian origin
(R1b, F*, G, I, and P*) found in STP, Forros shows a higher frequency (17.6%) than Angolares (8.2%). Haplogroup A2, one of the basal clades in
the Y-human phylogenetic tree, typical in sub- Saharan Africans at modest frequencies (Semino et al., 2002; Underhill et al., 2000,
2001; Y Chromosome Consortium, 2002), constitutes 1.3% of our samples.
