Latin American 23andme Results Charts

[Argentano]

I did this thread some time ago but it seems it got erased in a forum crash. Will repost it because it was a lot of work.


Rmuller thread with random samples Charts





My own compilation using results posted in this site, other sites and other users compilations (Much more samples)






Obviously this is not perfect but it gives an idea.

Nice one

Why didn't you make compilations for Chile? I reckon it had a decent number of results

Honestly i dont remember, i did this like a year ago. You mean with samples posted in this forum?

Here's one I made with exactly 200 Puerto Rican results around a year ago as well.


More or less similar results to yours, just a few more samples. Also, pretty consistent with the studies published by 23andMe and Ancestry.

A bit less African/more Euro than many medical studies. Probably a result of geography (people from not just San Juan/New York), methods (less Southern Euro/NA mislabelled as African), and social class (more middle class people buying kits).

Thanks for the input!

Good job, but I dont know how to read these. What does each color (series) mean?

Me imagino que azul europeo, rojo MENA, verde amerindio y lila africano.

Lo otro, sé que puede ser controversial pero yo no estoy de acuerdo con incluir MENA dentro del "europeo", porque para eso también incluiríamos a los South Asian que también son caucásicos...

Además yo conozco muchos chileno-palestinos que jamás pasarían por blancos y cuyo tono de piel es de hecho más parecido al de los mapuches que al de un español.

Imaginate q cada persona es una barrita vertical, una barrita toda azul es alguien full euro una barrita toda verde seria un indigena. Se entiende? Los cuadros estan ordenados de mas caucasico (euro+middle eastern) a menos caucasico.

I agree if you're talking about full Middle Eastern people.

But the small % of North African almost all Latinos score is a different matter in my opinion. It's not really indicative of actual meaningful Middle Eastern Ancestry in that case - it's simply a residual component brought to Latin America by people from Europe who themselves scored some percentage of it. So I'd definitely say it makes sense to include it alongside European in a broader Caucasian category.

There is also significant "bleed" between the North African and Southern European categories. On 23andMe, I've seen Italian siblings score significantly different levels of Middle Eastern. Yet, there's no real difference between them in terms of ancestry - just in how the algorithms decided to label each individual segment. That is not the case with South Asian because the component is significantly more distant.
