I spent a significant amount of time in the Bahamas (four years) and traveled to and stayed on most of the islands. With my background in Anthropology, I feel compelled to share my observations. I noticed a considerable number of individuals with distinctive features such as prognathism, micrognathia, epicanthal folds, maxillary deficiency, and cleft palate. These characteristics suggest a limited gene pool on the islands, potentially pointing to an incestuous history. In my studies, I found that the prevalence of these facial deformities in the Bahamas was higher than anywhere else I have observed in the world.
Keep going! I love this channel.❤
Glad you enjoy it!
Loved this video. My family is part of this study.
