๐จ๐บ Genetic Landscape of Cuba
Cuba's genetics tell the story of the Caribbean's most complex colonial history โ Taรญno Indigenous, Spanish colonial, West African (via the slave trade), Chinese indentured labor, and later European immigration. The resulting admixture varies dramatically: western Cuba shows more European genetic influence, while eastern provinces like Santiago de Cuba carry stronger African markers. Despite decades of self-identification as mestizo, genetic studies show Cubans carry roughly 70% European, 20% African, and 10% Indigenous DNA on average.
