Well, not recently enough so we would know about it. That's why I don't
think Cro-Magnon, Australopithecus and Home erectus would count, either.

Also, genetics aren't the point here (although I know I carry the odd French
Huguenotte gene from centuries ago), but culture. Mixed heritage is so much
more fun, like when the medicine man's daughter finds a dreidel in her
Kwanzaa piñata... ;-)
