Many (but not all) Jamaicans have relatively recent (within the past few hundred years) African ancestry, if that's what you're asking.

What is the origin of Jamaicans?

Jamaicans are just like Americans, mixed from all different countries. Jamaica was a hot vacation spot for the British, and when they came, Indians were living on the island already. Jamaican-Indians married the British, or British men and women would meet on the island and not return to Britain. Soon, slaves arrived, so now, the Jamaican population is made up of British, Jamaican-Indians, and Africans. Over time, other countries discovered Jamaica too, and many other people settled in Jamaica too. Jamaicans include Asians, English, Italians, Portuguese, Americans, Trinidadians, and Africans.
