Mexican Mestizos are genetically close to Tatars?

[MenoAp]

According to the most accepted theories, America's (Continent) first inhabitants were of Asian origin (mongoloid), and some (or most) of them from Siberia.

Yes, they're genetically similar because Amerindians are genetically similar to Siberians. They look different because Amerindians have lived in the Americas for thousands of years and adapted to their various environments differently.

Nope not true at all we can just say we are a very mixed ethnicity .

Castizo mexicans will cluster different than mestizo mexicans and mestizo mexicans will cluster differen than indomestizo/amerindian mexicans and so on.

What's not true? This thread is about Mestizos (Who are the vast majority of Mexicans anyway).

Yes but I wouldn't rely on this thread as a source that we cluster with tatars two completely different populations anyway that's my opinion.

Different ancestries but relatively similar ancestral components.

Volga Tagars are around 75-85% West Eurasian. I don't think Mexicans are that much European on average. The two groups have completely different origins - Mexicans have Southern European and Sephardic ancestry + native American and a certain amount of SS African. Tatars are Eastern European (IE, Finno-Ugric) + some Caucasian and of course Siberian and Turkic.

Well, similar in the sense that both have Mongoloid and Caucasoid components. And interestingly, I have seen Mexicans who can pass as Tatars and Tatars who can pass as Mexicans.

I'm not surprised. I'm Tatar (albeit my paternal grandmother was Russian) and when I was in California, I have been mistaken for Mexican.

Have you done a DNA test?
