Timeline of the Dominican Republic's genetic make-up since 500 years ago showing the impact of migrations. The founder Dominican population was mostly White European in origin with some Native Taíno element, but was modified by 3 subsequent African inflows. During most of the colonial period, the share of each ancestry group was as follows: 73% European, 10% Native, 17% African. After the Haitian incursions and Afro-Caribbean migrations the ratio changed to: 57% European, 8% Native and 35% African.
