Map of European Admixture in the Americas

[alnortedelsur]

You are probably right: one third of Argentina and one eight of Brazil, make around 40 000 000 pure Euros. Uruguay has a small total population, and the rest of South America is less than 1% pure Euro.

Colombia and Venezuela have way more than just 1% pure Euro people (perhaps 5-7% of their respective populations). And that without counting people who are not 100% Euro, but are Overwhelmingly European (more than 85% Euro) like me (very likely).

I am sure Chile has also way more than just 1% of full Euro people.

Yes, but there are many Latin Americans who are more than 7/8 European and end up being more or less looking like Europeans.

I have saw some Brazilians outside of the South/Southeast scoring close to 95% European.

Latin Americans who look endiginous Europeans (South Europeans mainly) make perhaps 25%-30% of Latin Americans perhaps.

If you could find it that'd be very lovely.

Also it sucks there's no data for some of Peru provinces because some of them are among the most European ones.

It seems that there is some correlation with distance from the coast.

Closer to the coast = slightly more of European ancestry than inland.

You shouldn't go around say "I am X% Euro" if you haven't been tested. I mean you never know.

Yes exactly.

I wonder about that test though. It seems surprising to me that Arequipa shows up as under 20% European. I thought it'd be between 30% and 40% or something.

I put "very likely" in parenthesis, precisely because I haven't been tested.

But my mom is full Euro (from Spain) and my Venezuelan dad looks pretty white, is blue eyed and have a blondish hair tone, as his three deceased brothers (all of them were blonde and blue eyed), and his dad (my grandpa) was also blonde and blue eyed. And I have a very pan European look. So I can say with a great chance of being right, that I am very likely equally or more than 85% Euro.

Well first you never posts pictures of yourself so you it's hard for people to confirm if you've got a pan European look.

Secondly, my sister is really pale and has got light eyes, and yet she is as European as I am, so as I said, you never know... it's not that I don't believe you (I actually couldn't care less to be honest), I'm just saying you should get tested to confirm (you live in America so you do have access to 23andme...).

I also have blue eyes and light brown hair (blonde when kid). I opened a thread about classifying me as kid (that was lost in the last forum crash), and I posted an adult pic of mine on the member's pictures thread. And I have sent by PM that same pic as an adult to some forum members. Several users here have seen my pics, and they all know how I look like.

In some cases yes, but in Colombia, Venezuela and probably Brasil is the oposite, because coasts are more negroid influenced while inner areas are more european and amerindian and not so negroid. Generally in highlands are more amerindians than in lowlands but I think that you can also find heavily european influenced villages in colombian highlands. The most "european" area in Mexico is also an highland.

And the Venezuelan Andes are mostly harnizo/castizo with good amounts of balanced mestizos, and good amounts of whites, as well.

However, many recent European immigrants (mainly Spanish, Italian and Portuguese) settled in large cities located close to the coast, like Caracas, Maracay and Valencia.

I think that the premise about "the closet to the coast the more Euro it gets" only applies to Latin American countries located in temperate latitudes (Southern Brazil and the Southern cone), but in tropical and subtropical countries is quite the opposite, as in the cases of Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico.
