Who are African Americans with an Amerind-mixed profile?
African American with an Amerind-mixed profile is a World Genetics reference label for African American samples that show a stronger Native American-related shift than the broader African American average. It should be read as a genetic profile category, not as a separate ethnic group from African Americans.
English is the main language, and family histories can come from many parts of the United States. The profile is useful when an African American result includes noticeable Native American-related ancestry alongside African and European-related ancestry.
As a genetic reference, this page is useful for comparison with Colombian Mestizo highly SSA-mixed profiles, Wampanoag European+SSA-mixed, Brazilian Pardo, Narragansett SSA+European-mixed, Reunionese Creole, Dominican, Afro-Puerto Rican, Swahili coastal references, and Malagasy Vezo.
What is African American Amerind-mixed DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, African American with an Amerind-mixed profile is closest to Colombian Mestizo with a highly SSA-mixed profile, Wampanoag with a European+SSA-mixed profile, Brazilian Pardo, Narragansett with an SSA+European-mixed profile, Reunionese Creole, Dominican, Afro-Puerto Rican, Swahili Kenya Pate, Swahili Kenya Ndau, and Malagasy Vezo. The result reflects a mixed diaspora profile rather than a single continental source.

African American (Amerind-Mixed Profile) genetics FAQ
Is African American Amerind-mixed a separate ethnicity?
No. It is a World Genetics profile label for African American samples with a stronger Native American-related shift than the broader African American average.
Why do Latin American mixed populations match this profile?
Some Latin American references combine African, Native American, and European ancestry in proportions that can resemble this mixed African American profile in G25 space.
Does this mean every African American has Native American ancestry?
No. Native American-related ancestry varies a lot by family. This page describes a specific Amerind-shifted reference profile.
