There are people all over the world who has it, it is however more frecuent among asians and their descendents. I have seen that some polish people have mongolian features (very few of them, but still some). This is linked to the time when the mongols attacked Europe.
So, does the mongolian spot appear often among poles? For instance among Hungarians is quite common
This is linked to the time when the mongols attacked Europe.
There is no historical evidence for this. The invading force was minuscule in comparison to the rest of the population. What did happen however was the migration of some Tatars to the country over a period of time to serve in the army, these people have long since integrated into the Polish population. Furthermore in recent history the Russians always stained quite big armies in Poland going back to some 200 years, that usually numbered some 100 000-150 000, it is quite plausible that some Poles might be the descendants of those Russians. The second proposition is just speculation, but it is far more probable than your hypothesis.
I've seen this for the first time. And having one according to the link you provided doesn't prove Mongolian ancestry, because it's prevalence among those with full Caucasian ancestry is 1 to 10 %.
this is why some polish women are so exoticaly hot, a bit of mongolian in em, light olive skin, brown hair flying in the wind, fire in their brown eyes... :)
I am often quite surprised to see some Eastern Europeans ( Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, etc) including some parts of Western Europe like Germany and France with strong East Asian features from so the existence of the Mongolian Spot should be no surprise in those countries. I would hypothesize that the Mongolian Spot is greatly linked to Mongolian ancestry.
I am Portuguese and I was born with the Mongolian spot... and so was the child of my cousin. As far as I know, we belong to a family of pure Portuguese roots.
The link doesn't even say that it is prevalent in the region of the world that Poland is in. Why would they have it? Because some Polish people have dark eyes and look only slightly asiatic? Because once a long time ago some Asians invaded Europe? Give me a break.
Interesting! I'm also of Polish descent and have a large birthmark on my back, slightly below the waist and had been told (by doctors) it was often called a Mongolian spot.
According to much discussion, it disappears early in life... but as I am now over 80, it's fair to say that has not happened! Here's the best part: several members of my family have had their DNA studied (ancestry.com) and my DNA result is the only one that 8% DNA indication, representing genetic "linkage" to the geographic area of the eastern Baltics and Mongolia. Sounds like there may be more to learn about this. That DNA sure offers lots of tantalizing clues about the past!!
"моголи ми, моголи" in original. "Mogoly my, mogoly" using Latin letters. Probably there was no word "Mongol" in literature Ukrainian language of those times. Or he meant exactly "Moguls" in poetic meaning of this word.
