Africans Americans mostly West African, but some mostly European

"I referenced a paper in PNAS yesterday, and I thought it might be good to actually point to it today. There's nothing that new in the paper. It confirms the finding that ~20% of the ancestry of African Americans is European, and, that African ancestry seems to be much more dominant when it comes to components of the genome presumably disproportionately contributed by females (2/3 of X chromosomes)."

Brother X says: "NO! NO! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
