I'd like to see what the amount you and I spend on a nice dinner out or nice shoes could do for a southern Malagasy right now.

In Malagasy populations today, the region of Chromosome 1 around Duffy spikes to over 90% African in local ancestry whereas across the rest of the genome, the African ancestry proportion hovers around only 60%.
