Um... you just haven't gone back far enough.
No, I have. Genetics have barely changed since the Neolithic apart from the US
Uhhh how about rest of the Americas for a start
They haven't changed much. Most people are still native with Spanish, Portuguese and African admixture
Brazil certainly has seen a massive change.
Argentina too
Another example would be Canada, but that's a bit on the nose.
19th century migrations were a thing.
What you posted doesn't reference any kind of genocide or ethnic cleansing, just people with a higher European percentage.
That's my point, Americans are the exceptions. Most societies mixed instead of wiping each other out
This is what I'm replying to. That part is obviously false. Since you meant specifically as a result of ethnic cleansing, it's a bit poorly worded imo.
What I meant was that a decent percentage of neolithic peoples' dna is still present everywhere but America
That's wholly different from what one would assume from the bolded part. But still, I've misunderstood your meaning. Sorry about that.
