Mexican 23andme results and analysis

[Carlito's Way]

I will keep updating the spreadsheet, there is still more that need to be added but I decided to just post what I have since we have a good sample size for Mexico (n=324)

Compared to the Argentine, Puerto Rican and Uruguayan spreadsheet, I decided to do a more detailed one for the Mexican spreadsheet






European Composition Ancestry




Native American and Asian Composition Ancestry




Africa and Middle Eastern Composition Ancestry





*Sub-Saharan African seems to be higher on those with less European ancestry while the ones with a higher one tend to have the lowest ex. Criollos vs Cholo, Indomestizo vs Castizo.

*Ashkenazi ancestry is high among all the racial groups but with "Cholos" having the lowest, while Harnizos having the highest. Which means the Jewish heritage seems to be common in all the racial groups and not just specific to one.

*MENA is higher on the Criollo sample but that is more due to there being two Mexicans of full Middle Eastern heritage (Lebanese), but if we exclude those two samples then the ones with a higher MENA are Harnizos

*Southeast Asian is higher on Indomestizos than with other mexicans, most of those samples came from Southern Mexico. There were Asian slaves that were imported in Mexico during the colonial days, so it wasn't just blacks that were brought to Mexico as slaves but also Asians.

*Northern Europe/Eastern Europe seems to be more common among the Criollo and Castizo group, especially Eastern Euro being more represent among Castizos

Good thread brah, It's great to see one of Mexican 23andme results analysis thread create similar like the one cvm did for the Argentine.

awesome thread pal..congrats!

im surprised to see the average MENA in your 11 criollos...is there any of them full arab or something like that

Edit: it was already answered in the first post"

[Argentano]

it would be great if you could make results with the same groups i have used (so comparation is easier) and add representativity (%) of each racial group within the whole sample!i know you put the quantities but seeing % would be easier

Also, isnt people in the 80-90 caucasian 80-90 amerindian range missing?

Very interesting! It's cool you have so many samples! Are they all after the latest update?

I agree with CMV, though, it would be nice to see what percent of the sample was criollo, castizo, harnizo, etc.

Sample size by racial group was

11 - Criollos
65 - Castizos
86 - Harnizos
142 - balance mestizo
13 - indomestizo
7 - cholo

would be cool to see average results divided in 3 groups..

85-100% caucasian

70-85% caucasian

0-70% caucasian

i dont see much sense in having somebody who is 85% euro and somebody who is 95% euro in different groups...since both would probably check the same box in a racial census..

also by doing so you would have bigger samples and would avoid weird results like the high middle eastern in criollos due to the sample being small..

How did you learn your haplogroups?

yeah I had messed up on the racial groups, right now I have been very busy and do not have a lot of free time to get on the computer to work on the new spreadsheet but I think by next week I will work on it
