Are dominican and hatians race the same?

Answer 1

Domincan's are known to be a Spanish/Latino race from The Dominican Republic on the island of Hispanola. Haiti is also found on Hispanola, but the genetic make up of these two races differs.

In 1492 Christopher Columbus arrived in Haiti and deemed it a settlement.

In the late 1500s Pirates began regularly attacking Haiti forcing the settlers to move to the Dominican Republic side of the island. In the process they left a large amount of slaves behind in Haiti, and the settlement was quickly taken over by the French.

Santo Domingo remained a Spanish Colony for hundreds of years after Haiti was dominated by the French. In 1665 Santo Domingo was finally taken over by the french, but in this process they created two separate nations with two sperate liniages.

Haitians are genetically a mix of the African slaves, French, Spanish, and the Tanio (the native people).

Dominicans are genetically a mix of Spanish, African slaves, French and the Tanio.

Even though their genes come from the same origins, the length of time settlers stayed in the land gives us an entirely different mix of these genes. This gives each race their own attributes and common language.
