I have to say that reading this thread and doing some follow up has opened up my mind quite a bit. I was steadfast as one of those who believed Taino's all but died off, and that their genetic contribution to modern Dominicans was minimal. I really hope more work continues to be done and we get some more conclusive results. It is a highly interesting subject. Thanks to DR1 for being one of the few sources for this type of info.
