There were often no clear distinctions between the ancestral populations with transitions being gradual. Genetic variations in such groups were larger than genetic variations between groups. How a person is identified racially may be different from geographic ancestry. Especially for groups with mixed ancestry self-identified race is often uncertain and culturally dependent.
另外,我的印象是現在還不能從DNA完全準確地確定人種。好像曾經有個案件涉及這個問題,一開始從DNA證據確定是黑人,後來發現不對。具體的記不清了。
