[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't think so, unless you're referring to Native American ancestry. Everyone else is a descendent of an immigrant and their ethnicity comes from elsewhere. [/quote]

Where did the Native Americans come from?[/quote]

Asia. How did you not learn this in school?!?[/quote]

Everyone came from Africa actually.... but if you have white skin here's an interesting article http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/04/how-europeans-evolved-white-skin[/quote]

That doesn't have anything to do with ethnicity, though, because ethnicity means people who have a shared ancestral or social experiences. Humans migrated from Africa over 1.5 million years ago and crossed into the Americas over 10,000 years ago. Nothing from ancient African culture still exists and there are almost no archaeological traces of the original people who came to the Americas. An identifiable ethnicity goes back only a few thousand years for some groups, and much less for others. [/quote]
