Admixture refers to the mixing of genetic material from different ancestral populations into a single gene pool. This process can occur through interbreeding between individuals from different populations or through the migration and settlement of people into new regions. Admixture can result in the blending of different genetic traits and the formation of new genetic variations in a population. Research in admixture often focuses on understanding the genetic diversity and population history of different groups, as well as how admixture can influence traits such as disease susceptibility, physical appearance, and other characteristics. Studies of admixture can provide insights into human migration patterns, population movements, and the evolutionary history of different populations.
