I think in the future we will see many more people of mixed ancestry, and I'm curious to know what people will look like. In my life I have had personal aquaintence with several multi-racial people, but I think they all had one parent who was full-blood something. I wonder if two multi-racial people have children, will all the children look the same, or will the children show the diverse genetic heritage differently?

I think in the future we will see many more people of mixed ancestry, and I'm curious to know what people will look like. In my life I have had personal aquaintence with several multi-racial people, but I think they all had one parent who was full-blood something. I know that sometimes a child can look more like one parent than the other (I once knew of a family where the mother was of very fair complexion and the father had a dark complexion, and they had two children, one looked like mom and one looked like dad). So what I wonder about is, if two multi-racial people have children, will all the children look the same, or will the children show the diverse genetic heritage differently?

Just look at the Brazilians. Very mixed. All kinds of great combinations.

I think the modern-day Hawaiians, and Filipinos, give a sense of what a multi-racial population might look like. Hybrid vigor!
