The Tainos travelled to Puerto Rico from South America and displaced other tribes that had been on the Caribbean islands..

I’m Puerto Rican, I had my husband and I take a DNA test from Ancestry and my results came back that I am 23% Taino and my husband is 19% Taino. We always knew our Taino ancestors were never completely extinct. A lot of Tainos hid in the mountains when the Europeans invaded Puerto Rico.

Is this a joke? That's like saying Native Americans don't have Cherokee, Apache, Shawnee,etc in their blood (570+ tribes by the way). Some mixed with whites & some with other races along throughout history but their roots remain & have the DNA. Same thing goes for PR's people. We have Taino & any other native tribes blood/DNA in our veins until this day. For those of you that didn't know this- some of the names of the towns in PR are named by tribes or for the tribes that once lived there. Not all the people of PR belonged to just the Taino tribe, but all lived in peace under the rule of Taino tribe leader Cacique Agüeybaná up until the Spaniards invaded & enslaved them. Also, some Tainos, natives, etc...left the island during Spanish invasion to avoid being enslaved themselves, so to think Taino blood is nonexistent is just ignorant. It is the same blood shared by Dominicans, Haitians, Cubans, & surrounding islands.

John Smith 🇵🇷 has the richest Native ancestry in all of the Caribbean. There is also emerging DNA evidence that out of all three of the races, that we are more closely related to the Taino. Many customs and traditions once thought to be Spanish, or African are found to actually be Taino in origin. Modern day geneticist also day PR DNA is the closest to a perfect human...just sayin...😉🇵🇷💪🏼

I'm NOT Puerto Rican and I knew this already. Some of my Puerto Rican friends in the military told me that. They also said that Tainos were all color shades too from black to yellow

This kind of seems like old news. I've heard about this YEARS ago. However, it's good that a major news network is looking at this information.

TAINO roots, African branches, European stems.

We as Puerto Ricans knew that all along

Puerto Ricans seem to be some of the proudest Latinos of their indigenous roots. Go ask a Dominican, Cuban, or Mexican about their indigenous roots, you’ll hear “no soy Indio! Yo soy español” or “im not Indian! I’m Spanish”. Colonialism was majorly successful at getting Latinos to cling to their whiteness over anything else. Shoutout to the Puerto Rican’s though!

Native American is native American no matter the part of America they came from😂

Tainos are the same people from the continent .. they derived from central and South America .. especially Venezuela so if you have Tainos blood , you are stating you have Native A. Blood from North to South. Empanadas y pasteles is Native A. Culture which was also passed down in the carribean a and is eaten today.

I believe I still carry those genes in my blood up to this day. Tainos were never extinct, history has failed us. Us Puerto Ricans are a mix of tainos, Spanish and African. All this happened when slavery was a thing back hundreds of years ago. So in my conclusion tainos are still here, whether is thru ancestry or just plain old DNA.

@@FLeXn_YT Your idea goes contrary to reality in reference to Latin Americans. Excerpt Latin America has the largest diasporas of Spaniards, Portuguese, Black Africans, Italians, Lebanese and Japanese in the world. The region also has large German (second largest after the United States), French, and Jewish diasporas. The specific ethnic and/or racial composition varies from country to country: many have a predominance of European-Amerindian, or Mestizo, population; in others, Amerindians are a majority; some are mostly inhabited by people of European ancestry; and others are primarily Mulatto. Various Black, Asian, and Zambo (mixed Black and Amerindian) minorities are also identified in most countries. White Latin Americans are the largest single group. Together with the people of part-European ancestry they combine for almost the totality of the population. varietygalore.boards.net/thread/2038/latin-american-diversity-overview

It has been known that the Taino DNA did not disappear. I went to HS in 1980 on the island of Puerto Rico and it was taught then that the modern day Puerto Rican (at that time) was made up of those 3 basic genetic sources: European, African, & Taino. To be clear, not every person there has all 3, some have only 2 of those sources, but of course, we have had many that have other genetic sources from many different groups from elsewhere in the world. The culture of the Taino had been pretty much wiped out, but many of the locals have within their family genes Taino heritage. Glad to see that they actually now show modern confirmation of that information.

Time and science has proved that the Taino component is wide spread all over the island and on average differs in autosomal testing from the African component by 5 to 6 points.
