The classmate, a retired professor, revealed the "secret" to us. The earlier immigrants from Mainland were single males only. Those pioneers had to find the aboriginal girls in the plain areas as their mates. The couples then produced their hybrid offsprings who had carried the gene of aboriginal islander since. The crease is one of the "charcteristics" to distinguish people between the immigrants who came to Taiwan before or after 1949. (I have also heard of that there had some other "charcteristics", e.g. different foot toes. And all of these "evdences" have long been used by Taidu advocates as they are of different "racial group" from Chinese, and they are bound to be a new nation so as to build up a new country.)
But I have to tell you guys that the blood is never a determinant of whether you are Chinese or not. It is rather the recognition to Chinese culture that really matters. I am not sure if my ancestors have mixed with other "barbarians" how many times before, but that would definitely not prevent me from recognize myself as a genuine Chinese.
從沒聽過,也聽不明白所謂的摺紋,如果有相片說明,會有幫助理解。
如果要這個如此微不足道的外表特徵,那麼 DNA 的 match 豈不是更有效?
