1/1024 = 0.09%.

NYT 2014 article: "The researchers found that European-Americans had genomes that were on average 98.6 percent European, .19 percent African, and .18 Native American."

Well it said 6 to 10 generations so the median would be 8 generations, or 1/(2^8), which would be the 1/256 or 0.39%, which is still meaningless given HER STORY. It would be cool for someone researching their own ancestry, but she presented it as an issue her own mother dealt with, which is just ridiculous.

Is that because many Europeans share genetic markers with Mongols, and the mongols shared genetic markers with those who crossed the land bridge 15000 years ago?

All I know is that I have more injun blood in me than Elizabeth Warren has in her...

...and I don't consider myself no injun.
