The important question would be, what are you considering as Melungeon when you are describing these"traits". As there is still a question as to who were the Melungeons, how would know what traits they had. Shovel shaped incisors are not indicative of Melungeon ancestory, they are indicative of aboriginal ( ask a physical anthropologist) also, when we study bones that have been discovered, there are actually very few traits under the skin that are different between what would be classified as Negroid/Caucasoid/mongaloid ( these are very old terms by the way) and most differences are found on the skull. If there is any add mixture you cannont identify a precise "race". I also am curious about what you classify as Negroid features. You must not have been exposed to many people of mult-ethnicity that included an admixture. Yes there are some identifying traits, but not all are always present. My daughter, who is beautiful by the way is mutli-racial. Her "black" grgrandmother ( from Texas by the way) had blond hair and blue eyes. I am sorry it just scares me when people try to classify and label absolutely. It just isn't the way of things. I thought it has been discussed that there are no Melungeon traits and Diseases!!!!! Have I missed something?????
