Looks pretty representative to me!
Sample: 555 Puerto Ricans (mainly older male military veterans collected in San Juan).

The results were very similar to other studies of PR...
Very, very interesting!
The numbers seem consistent with other PR studies.
The Miami numbers also make sense to me - about what I'd expect from a group that's mainly white Cubans plus a smaller...
Very cool!
Here's Puerto Rico (Green) and Brazil (Blue) for comparison. Obviously Brazil has many more people in the 80% + Euro category than PR, but it is interesting to compare the two.

Pretty interesting that a few Brazilians and Peruvians cluster with Japanese and Chinese - shows how important immigration was in those two countries. Samples these small would almsot never capture...
I uploaded my 23andMe data there. My results are very similar to Jimmy Sirvent.
Interestingly, it shows my Native as Mayan, Amazonian, and Andean. I'm sure they don't have a Taino sample, but I...
There have been a few studies of Cuba conducted on the island, rather than the Miami diaspora. Predictibly, they are less Euro than Miami Cubans, but still very European by Ltin American standards.

It's so frustrating!
You gave me the idea to log in using my Italian-American friend's account. Here are his DNA relatives with 4 LatAm grandparents.

Not necessarily. I share with a lot ofPuerto Ricans in that range. Most look sort of Castizo, but sometimes genotype doesn't equal phenotype.
One person I share with is 6% SSA and 14% Native like...
Super interesting! I'm still have the old results, but I can't wait to get the update. It looks like it really reduces unassigned.I don't have much, but lots of Puerto ricans had like 10% on the old...
I agree that is very interesting!
Even though Costa Rica is one of the most Euro countries in Latin America, people over 80% Euro are extremely rare. It's just that castizos and (especially)...
As you say, Argentina has more people over 90% Euro.
Over 90% Euro:
25% Argentina
21% Brazil
80-90% Euro:
19% Argentina
Edited to add to original post.
I made a formula to group the Gedmatch samples from each Latin American country by "race." I tried to use genetic definitions that were appropriate for the Latin American context. I want to make a...
As others have said, people over 80% Euro (with any abount of African ancestry) plus people 70-80% European with less than 10% African. I didn't include people with 70-80% European and over 10%...
Thats just the number that the formula gave me for the people who are 80%+ European, plus castizos (70-80% European and 0-10% African). I just used those categories as a baseline for "white" in Latin...
To build on my point about Colombia, here is a chart from the first nationwide study I found.
415 samples, "conducted in six Colombian cities from the Andean (Bogotá and Bucaramanga) and Coastal...
Well these samples are from GEDmatch, so it might over represent certain regions and social classes. I still think its a decent point of comparison because the same biases (skewed towards big cities...
Here is the full comparison of the two, using the definitions I came up with. The Euro ranges for each category are on the left. The pardo categories include anyone with over 10% African, the...
One interesting thing is that Chile has more people who are 80%+ Euro and Colombia has more Castizos. This is probably the result of Chile receiving more recent migration.
I made this chart based on the ˜5000% ALtin American Gedmatch kits we have collected.
This is the percent of all kits from a country who are over 80% European, plus Castizos (people 70-80%...
You should do San Juan too!
That study also included some non-Puerto Rican Latinos. Table 4 (where I got those quartiles) is only about the Puerto Ricans. Here are the averages (mean, not median which is why they're slightly...

The Quartiles for the Puerto Rican sample overall are in table 4.
