The Los Angeles Pobladores, or “townspeople,” were a group of 44 settlers and four soldiers from Mexico who established the famed city on this day in 1781 in what is now California. The settlers came from various Spanish castes, with over half of the group being of African descent.

Governor of Las Californias, a Spanish-owned region, Felipe de Neve called on 11 families to help build the new city in the region by recruiting them from Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico. According to a census record taken at the time, there were two persons of African ancestry, eight Spanish and Black persons, and nine American Indians. There was also one Spanish and Indian person, with the rest being Spaniards.

According to the efforts of historian William M. Mason, the actual racial makeup of the pobladores was perhaps more racially balanced than not. Mason wrote that of the 44, only two were White, while 26 had some manner of African ancestry and that 16 of the group were “mestizos” or mixed Spanish and Indian people.

In a historic discovery published in Nature, researchers from Liverpool John Moores University, the University of Aberdeen, and the Garstang Museum sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome, extracted from the teeth of a man buried 4,500–4,800 years ago in the Nuwayrat necropolis. This exceptionally well-preserved DNA—surviving centuries of heat, burial, and even Nazi bombings during World War II—provides the first full genetic insight into an individual from Egypt’s Old Kingdom. Analysis revealed that about 80% of his ancestry came from Neolithic North Africans, with the remaining 20% linked to ancient West Asian populations. Using a 3D scan of his skull, forensic experts at the university’s Face Lab reconstructed his facial features, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the life and appearance of a man from the era when the pyramids were first built.

Back to New York. What have we been up to? Life is life-ing. We’ve had a lot of changes happening in our personal lives (but no complaints!). Jones is back at work and Tekeste is growing her health coaching business. Plus, there’s 3 additions to the family (1 human and 2 furry). These days we are still traveling, so we haven’t yet had time to edit and post videos, but soon come! Also, we will be back in Africa sometime this fall. Stay tuned. We love all of you who support and follow our journey! ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾
