COSTA RICA 200 GEDMATCH KITS

[Vascontelo]

Hello.

I can share with you my 200 gedmatch kits.

I made a very short video (less than 2 minutes)in youtube so maybe more people could see this. It takes me about 2 years to collect all this samples.

You can find them here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Basically, we are a mixed population of three components, europeans, natives americans and africans. The biggest component is the european, then the native american and some kind of marginal african blood.

Probably, this will be the last time that i do this because since the last 100 kits, the results are almost the same ...

Good work. Do it for every Central American country and share

Nice @Vascontelo!!
After watch your both videos is interesting that costa ricans of the north region of predominantly colonial origin surpass the 70% euro instead Cartago (the colonial center ) despite some places of north region got filled of nicaraguans and many people there are deeply non-white.
I have a question, how many kits are outside central valley?

That's a cool idea. I'll try to find kits from the rest of C.A and maybe in the future i could do this for them.

Well i guess it has it's own historical reason. Look, in Cartago we had a town for "brown" people, La puebla de los Pardos, so i guess this helped to foment race mixing because you know imagine to be a spanish "amo" in the colonial era, you had your wife but you had too a lot of slaves or quasi-slaves from differents origins and you could have babies with any of your women if you wanted ... even your slaves.

In the other hand, San Ramón, San Carlos, Palmares, ETC, were colonized like 200 years after that, by a group of mestizos and some new spaniards. When they arrived to those places, the natives americans were almost extinct.

About your second question, i would say that no more than 25.

If you were able to compare Costa rica with any mexican region which region would it be?

Which calculator did you use.

Central Valley of Costa Rica with NorthWest Mexico i guess, but i'm not sure. I'm not an expert in Mexico genetics and it's a Giant country.

Great job, I always admire such endeavors!
Though the African seems pretty low. Doesn't CR have a substantial black population? I remember the futbol world cup and there were quite a few players like Joel Campbell. I have no idea about the country.

He can pass in West Africa with ease. Are people like him underrepresented in the average?

Though he seems to have miscegenated since then and moved closer to the Caribbean average

According to the 2011's census self-reported blacks are 1% of country's population. Their are two studies that study self reported blacks and both give blacks an average of 88% SSA:

The same 2011s census shows that self-reported mulatos are 8% and the their are two genetic studies in which the places with more mulatos are on average 13% SSA:

Or like 32% SSA:

So Joel Campbell is not representative.
