Latinos Surprised at Having Italian Ancestry?
I was recently watching a YouTube video in which Latinos were examining the results of DNA tests, and noticed that some expressed surprise at having Italian ancestry. Now, this struck me as rather weird. Why? Well, because history clearly shows us that Italians invaded Iberia, which is now called Spain, and after two hundred years of military conflict, finally colonized it and made it into Roman province.
Spain then remained a Roman province until the fall of the Roman empire and by that time, Latin had replaced the various languages that had been spoken there prior to the Roman arrival.
Of course, during all those centuries, the Romans had interbred with the Celt- Iberians. So since that is the case, Spaniards should not be surprised when told that they have Italian ancestry, and neither should anyone having Spaniards as their ancestors be surprised.
For a person of Spanish ancestry to be surprised about Italian ancestry, is just as ridiculous as a Russian being surprised with having Mongolian, or East Asian ancestry, since Russia was under Mongol rule for centuries, and an intermixing of both populations took place.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Six guests in 24 hours down from 5000 just a week ago? That is really impressive tweaking.

Radrook Admin: Amazing how the number of guests rose suddenly to 5000 and then has been gradually and steadily going down. Pretty soon I will be getting maybe 100 guests if I am lucky. All of them bots, of course.
