Compilation of Argentine genetic studies (barplots)

**Argentano** · 07-16-2018, 08:31 PM

In case anyone is interested in genetic variation in Argentina, i made a compilation with every Argentine study i could find with a barplot (ancestry ranges). All are ordered from most euro to least euro or from least amerindian to most amerindian. In all the barplots euro is blue. The way to read it is that first person in the left is the most euro and last person in the right is the most amerindian. I dont think its perfect but it gives an idea.

the new charts with amerindian in pink (entre rios , corrientes, mendoza, san juan, la rioja, jujuy, salta) are pretty interesting since some used small colonial villages like for example curuzu cuatia used for corrientes sample.

I included population of each region tested so you can understand importance of each province. Also a map with population density.

Edit:I couldnt find a barplot for Province of Santa Fe, the third most populated province, but accoriding to genetic studies it is similar to buenos aires, just a little more euro (around 80%)

Take into consideration that Pampa/buenos aires/cordoba barplots ( 2,3,4 most euro ones) would be representative for around 65% of the country population and jujuy/salta barplots (9,10,11 least euro) would be representative for 5% of the country population. The amount of barplots is not proportional to importance in the argentine population.

I could do something similar for Brazil.

DO you have studies that shows charts for mitocondrian and Y haplogrups for each region?

yes but tbh thats kind of useless info. You can be 99% euro and have amerindian mtdna and you can be 99% amerindian and have european mtdna.

User Anakin from the site is like 95% euro, scores like a full basque and has amerindian mtdna

Well that because their female ancerstors were native, is what you would spected with a predominat male oriented migration.

yes but what i meant is that the autosomal/biparental results (what really matter tbh) dont nescesarily have to match with the ydna mtdna so its kind of useless.

That being said yes normally mestizos have euro ydna and amerindian mtdna.

argentina interior is very indigenous

the only provinces that are majority pred indigenous would be jujuy/Salta (around 5% of the population). The majority of areas in the interior are more mestizo like.

Still take into consideration that studies give an idea, but they are not perfect.
