Editing Relict (section)

==Human populations==
As revealed by [[DNA test]]ing, a relict population is an ancient people in an area, who have been largely supplanted by a later group of migrants and their descendants. 

In various places around the world, minority [[ethnic group]]s represent lineages of ancient [[human migration]]s in places now occupied by more populous ethnic groups, whose ancestors arrived later. For example, the first human groups to inhabit the Caribbean islands were [[hunter-gatherer]] tribes from South and Central America. [[Genetic testing]] of natives of Cuba show that, in late pre-Columbian times, the island was home to agriculturalists of [[Taíno people|Taino]] ethnicity. In addition, a relict population of the original hunter-gatherers remained in western Cuba as the [[Ciboney people]].<ref>{{Cite journal
