Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry?

No relationship to Poles.

This is a flag used by the Union of Polish Tatars (Zwiazek Tatarow Polskich or Polonya Tatar Birlik), the foremost organization of the remnants of a once prosperous and influential ethno-religious group of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Turks and Polish like each other because we have common things in history.

Polonya Tatar Birlik is Turkish

Poles chucked Turks out of Europe and Turks got chucked out of Europe by Poles!

I think its very naive of your calling them turkish... to even start with race...they are not turkish at all!

Posters prove lack of basic knowledge about Poland. :)))

What is the basic knowledge about this issue.

There is a Polish village in İstanbul called Polonezköy ( Polish : Adampol )

Tatars are not Turks :)

Sobieski was pure Pole

Yes, then you Germans invaded Poland. It is funny a German makes this comment.

What is your comment about this link ?

. Maybe, You would not be a sandwich between Germans and Russians later.

No,the Mongols have the classic mongolic spot in a high percentage of the population.Also shape of eyes and nose is different.No relationship to Poles.
I have seen some Russians mixed but no Poles.

Polish, European and world samples compared using almost 400,000 genome wide markers

Context is important when it comes to genetic affinity, and this is clearly illustrated by an article published in the European Journal of Human Genetics this week.

The real purpose of this study was to spot variation that might be useful in medical work. However, for all those interested where Poles and other Europeans cluster genetically on colourful graphs, my initial point here is crucial.

It really depends who's on the plot, and including non-European samples in this study has quite an effect on the result. For instance, on the intra-European graph Poles basically sit between Dresden and Moscow, but mixing more with the latter. When an African and two Asian populations are added, we end up almost at the top of a much tighter European blob, overlapping heavily with Swedes, Slovaks, Germans and Czechs, just to name a few.

This begs the question, what would happen if more populations were added? For example, from Italy, Finland, the Middle East, India, North and Central Asia, and so on? We can only guess at this stage, so let's hope someone in the game reads this blog.

Anyway, this study does have some very neat tables showing the relative affinity of the groups to each other. Spaniards exhibit the strongest links to the African sample, the Yoruba from Nigeria. On the other hand, its the Russians who are relatively closest to the Asians from China and Japan. Moreover, some individuals from France, Great Britain, Romania and Germany are also being pulled towards the non-Europeans, possibly indicating some sort of admixture? Hard to say, because the study doesn't really focus on that. Interestingly, the Poles' affinity to the Africans and Asians is rather weak in comparison to that shown by most of the other European groups.

On a final note, it's curious that unlike previous studies of this sort, the main gradient here is the one running from west to east, and not north to south. I suspect a lack of samples form Itlay and the southern Balkans is largely the reason for that.

I will attempt to answer my own question: Is it because Moscow is of a different history and mixture than St. Petersburg and Northern Russia?

At any rate, given history, I personally find the conclusion that the "Poles affinity to the Asians is rather weak" when Russia's is strong rather weak itself.

*edit: By the way, people on this thread seem to know a lot about genetics and I want to have a DNA test. I am adopted, and it is important to me to know my full ethnic heritage. I am female, and want to know the full ancestry from both mother and father. I live in South Korea right now, so I need a test that can be available anywhere.

Any suggestions?
