Do these countries best represent Latin American and Caribbean countries in a way ?

[Thetruth]

Actually I think you might be somewhat right with what I’m imagining, Brazil(One of the largest African descendant communities) is the Afro-Europeo country, Uruguay(Spanish and Italian) the Pred. Europeo and Paraguay the Indio-Europeo(indigenous groups of the regions represented here) one

[Thetruth]

Jamaica is an actual independent country, even if the German Argentines make up a decent part of the population the main components are still the Italian and Spanish heritage. It’s not about the chibchas being anywhere near as influential as the Incas and Aztecs about them leaving behind they’re genetics in the area they inhabited and being of the more significant tribes in the region, I never said they were anything as powerful as the Incas and Aztecs.

Brazil is pred-european too. The main difference between Brazil and Argentina(that is a middle point between Brazil and Uruguay in european input terms) is that Brazil main non-white input is SSA and Argentina main non-white input is amerindian(amerindians have ANE so their mixed people look far whiter than those from Brazil). An 60% european brazilian(and the rest black/amerindian) would look less caucassian and more swarthy that an argentine mestizo 50% euro 50% native american. Even the "black community " in Brazil(those which self-report black) scores 40% european in genetic studies(something more european than Jamaicans(25% euro) and aframs(25-15% euro) which look different from those blacks from Haití(88% SSA))

I know it is but it also has a significant African ancestry in its main components unlike Argentina which is mainly Spanish and Italian ancestry which only puts it in the Pred.European category while Brazil is genetically Pred. European it’s secondary main component isn’t another European culture it’s the African one which puts it in the Afro-Europeo category for the nation as a whole. Argentina is mainly Spanish and Italian while Brazil being big and diverse makes it a bit herder to categorize but the South would be Pred. Europeo but the country as a whole would be Afro-Europeo.

The Amerindian heritage is pretty distant in both Brazil and Argentina seeing as how Argentina is mainly Spanish, Italian and Amerindian in that order showing that the Amerindian ancestry is much more distant than the first two while in Brazil it’s similar but it would be Portuguese, African and Amerindian, the non-white ancestry which is African is in its second main input in comparison to Argentina which has two main European inputs.

I agree.
To do it easy genetically talking is something like this:
Brazil: 70% Euro, around 19 to 22% Subsaharan African, 8 to 11% Amerindian.
Argentina: Around 78 to 79% Euro, 16 to 20% Amerindian, 2 to 4% Subsaharan African.

So, the =/= between both % Euro don't differ more than 8 or 9% and even brazilian SSA % and argentinian amerindian % reach a similar number but of course the SSA is more evident in the phenotype. Always.

Not really. Its mostly tri-racial to varying degrees but the European share tends to be the highest out of the 3 racial segments.

not true, no according to dna studies, pictures, videos etc

Actually there are a wide number of dna studies that prove me right, including my own DNA sample. I'm nowhere near 70% SSA like you claimed earlier.

you are just one person, the majority are pred ssa
that is like an African American with pred euro admixture tells me that she/he is nowhere near 80-90% SSA like i claim aframs to be

Some studies claim 20-25% SSA admixture at the very most, which depends on the city. 70% SSA admixture is not common on the Caribbean Coast. Maybe on the Pacific Coast.

Samario, aún no conoces a Carlos, es el troll-subnrmal oficial de este subforo. Nadie le hace caso.
