Erin Goldberg, Post 18
So my family has been subscribing to National Geographic for years now. And I remember reading an article not too long ago about research done with people from NYC. With America being seen as the Great Melting Pot, the test was to see if National Geographic could sample 1000 people from NYC and see if they could encompass all the ethnicity and race from every corner of the global. I tried to find the article online and haven't been successful, however from what I remember the people they took DNA from encompassed 99% of the racial groups (I know that's not the term for it, but the real words the article used escape me) recorded in the world. And this is just in NYC. I thought that was extremely cool.
