[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2401, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53527405'][B]Genetic impact of African slave trade revealed in DNA study - BBC[/B][/URL] [B]A major DNA study has shed new light on the fate of millions of Africans who were traded as slaves to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries.[/B] More than 50,000 people took part in the study, which was able to identify more details of the "genetic impact" the trade has had on present-day populations in the Americas. It lays bare the consequences of rape, maltreatment, disease and racism. More than 12.5m Africans were traded between 1515 and the mid-19th Century. Some two million of the enslaved men, women and children died en route to the Americas. [/QUOTE]
