Genetics: are the Igbo tribe mixed race

[Raptor]

Can any nigerians confirm or deny if the igbos are mixed race. I keep seeing their pics pop up ion the african forums and some of them look light as fuc. I checked out wiki and most igbos scored 100 percent SSA on dnatribe. Some even have green eyes and shyt.

no they are not, i don't know why the myth persists that all Africans are dark skinned......

I'm Nigerian, and have often wondered why alot of Igbos are lightskinned

Haven no idea though

No and most Black American ancestry comes from Igbos.

that's just the 2% hydroquinone skin treatment...Blacks are blacks except for the Bushmen...All other "lightskin" blacks are mixed genetically...

Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalis, Northern Africans and etc are MIXED GENETICALLY...

At one point, the vast majority of people in Africa were "dark skin"...Just like in Australia...

most igbos arent even light skinned. they're more "brown" (compared to alot of other nearby ethnic groups who are darkbrown/ damn near black) b/c of their environment.

N. Africans? yes, but the rest of them you listed? no.

A friend of mine was "light skin" and her husband was "light skin," but when I saw the baby...I was like

If she is "light" and he is "light" why is the baby so dark...

This thread is about Africans...Of course we are all genetically intertwined, but the OP was specific to a subset of humans...He wasn't talking about humans in general...

Hence, my post was restricted to the people we are discussing...


I grew up in Africa...The majority of people are either to ...Cam'ron's complexion is as "light" as an African gets...

If you see an African who looks like this ...You best believe there has been a recent non-African genetic infusion in his family....

Before Whites, Arabs, and other pale skin people came to Africa, you best believe there were ZERO Beyonce looking chicks walking around...

Even Arabs are clear mix of dark skin and light skin people...

Probably the entire continent of Africa, The Middle East and half of Asia was probably nothing but Darkies at some point...

Africans are not the only dark skin people in the world...

I've heard from some Nigerian guys on here and other boards that the vast majority of Igbo people are not even that light, and it's just internet weirdos paying the ones who are lightskinned a disproportionate amount of attention.

Nah, a decent number of them are light skinned, like 15-20%. It's especially significant considering the number of light-skinned igbos compared to lightskined Yoruba or Hausa people. If you meet a light skin person in Nigeria, there is very good chance that they're Igbo or at least from Edo or Calabar type joints which are relatively close to Igbo land.

why does every African have to be jet black? Every white person isn't paper white.

This isn't digital 0's & 1's where there's no variations, it's life.

A white & black person can make a kid that clearly looks mixed, sometimes they don't look mixed at all.

An African doesnt have to be super dark to not be mixed.
