Very interesting bro, i like this maps. Saved

Here it is the population density that is also very important because i notice many people compare regions as if they were similar when some regions are heavily populated and others scarcely populated.

Not that many "pure" europeans living in South-America though. Probably less than 50 000 000.

If you only count Brazil and Argentina there are probably around 120 millons scoring over 70% european.

120 millons being predominantely europeand and scoring between 70-100% European (85% euro on average)

To compare, the population of some european countries

Albania 2 millon people
Greece 11 millon people
Austria 8 millon people
Switzerland 8 millon people


You can follow the one drop rule if you want but minimizing 120 millon people scoring on average 85% euro seems stupid to me. Moreso when the majority of the population in the world is pred non euro.

yes

I found a nice study with regional data for Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and the USA.

I'll use those results for Mexico and the US, and I'll also add the Brazilian and Colombian results to the tables I've already got.

Very interesting!

If you're adding data for more countries, there's a very good study of Cuba that has tons of samples from every region.

And you could also color in Puerto Rico as well, even though it's only a single region on the map.

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

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

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.

Also the coasts are more populated
