What does Puerto Rican DNA really reveal? For nearly 500 years, the official story said the Taíno — the Indigenous people of Puerto Rico — went extinct soon after the Spanish arrived in 1508. Then scientists tested the DNA of the entire island, and the Puerto Rican DNA mystery was finally solved.
In this documentary, we explore the landmark island-wide mitochondrial DNA study of Puerto Rico, which found Native American DNA passed down through the maternal line in roughly 6 out of 10 Puerto Ricans tested. The Taíno never truly disappeared — they survived through the mothers of Puerto Rico.
You’ll discover why the mother’s line and the father’s line tell completely different stories, how Taíno, Spanish and African ancestry came together on one island, what the genetic map of Puerto Rico reveals about colonial history, and how ancient DNA from the Caribbean connected a 1,000-year-old Taíno woman to modern Puerto Ricans.
This is the real story of Puerto Rican ancestry: Taíno DNA, African heritage, Spanish roots, and one of the most remarkable survival stories in the history of the Americas.
