I've just read everything and have found all of it very interesting indeed. I was also born with the blue spot which faded after a few years. My son was also born with a little irregular shaped blue fried egg at his tail bone and the same on his arm which also faded after a couple of years. My mother is Caucasian Australian and my father Australian Aboriginal, my sons father was Scottish and white. My friends who are mixed race [west indian and caucasian] were also born with the blue spots. I've yet to hear of any other [Australian] Aboriginals who also had the blue spot. However, my grandmother was dark skinned and was often mocked by my granddad who called her Queen of the Arrernte tribe. I would love to know more about her heritage but I doubt I will be able to trace anything now. If anyone has any opinions on how the blue spot could have been carried over to Australia, I really like to hear them! I would also love to be able to trace my ancestry through my blood, but i presume these types of tests are extremely expensive. What an amazing thread!

They may have shared an common ancestor but then so do all modern-day humans. The blue spot occurs with some frequency among some African populations. I doubt Africans descend from mongolians.

Ok sought out to see what others thought about mongolian spots and I'm sorry y'all but...wow! As you all can see there is a genetic simularity between the races. The spots are commonly found in African and Asian descents. Sorry some might not like it but gosh you guys there is a motherland. I, too, am enrolled in a federally recognized tribe, Choctaw, and even I know that we didn't spring out of the ground. Its a matter of science, check out the chinese scientist on youtube and see where his findings of chinese people go...some of you will be astounded! Those continents are right there close... you don't think that they might have the same traits? When are we going to stop thinking we are all seperate and superior? Why are people afraid to say they are from Africa, but adopt poor african kids? These are called Mongolian spots, just because your baby has some won't make him or her any smarter in math! Haha! My baby girl has them too and she is choctaw and white. My background goes back to cuba, african american, white, chinese, american indian. I can name each grand parent of each race.... so you think my daughter only got her spots from my chinese grandmother, I beg to differ. Wow!

Of course I had the Mongolian spot when born but it is completely gone now in my adulthood. Our child was also born with it even though it seems to have faded a bit now at 9 months. Most of my friends' kids with this mix have the spot, only one doesn't. I’m Korean and my husband is Danish.

But Chinese and other nationalities don't have. I always thought that only pure Mongol has blue spot, if one doesn't have then he or she is not pure Mongol. Blue dot is our proud which proves Mongol blood. I heard that if someone marries with Chinese, Japanese or Korean their children don't have any blue dot. That's why we always concern about blue dot. If someone's child doesn't have blue dot, then it is shameful for the parents. But I learned that Eskimos, native Americans, some Koreans, and some other Asians also occasionally have blue dot. May be it is true that they have some degree of Mongol blood. You guys should read about Mongol Empire, Mogul Empire, Hun Empire. By the way, Hun means in modern and also ancient Mongolian language: Human. Also "Human" and "Hun" two words both spelled similarly.
