Admixture in Latin America: The Definitive Percentages

[Amador]

So this is just a work i did a while ago, the percentages are intended to be as an approximate representation por each country as a whole, what i did for most countries is guesstimating the Native American, African (SSA) and European admixture for each administrative division from each country basing on genetic studies available and then made a weighted average for each value taking into account the percentage of population living in every administrative division for each country, and this is what i got, enjoy!:



Least to most Euro chart version:

I don't agree with the percentage estimates of my nation, that was just guessing without much knowledge

Nevertheless, credits for your amazing job, congrats. At the end it isn't that far from the reality

Regarding mine, I don't believe DR is less Amerind than Cuba. But yeah, it is more or less approximate overall.

Do Haitians have a European mix? (small is true) I always thought they were pure blacks, with a minority of mulattos.

I have seen studies that put their Euro more or less on the same range as Jamaica's, still below the 10% range, though.

[Daven]

From your estimations I'm only entirely agreeing with Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and perhaps Venezuela. The rest have a few to many points off IMO. But most are within the range. Great job indeed regardless.

These were the figures i made for Colombia, what do you think? i used mainly the Colombian map from the candela study to do this, there are also figures for all regions for Colombia in the study "Admixture in the Americas: Regional and National Differences" but i thought these were way off.

Excellent job

I doubt, however, that Costa Rica is more Euro than Chile, but other than that, I find it very accurate, for the most part

[Hasien]

Average Mexican is more like 45% euro and like 48% ameirndian and rest small traces of SSA.

Muy bien!. Esta casi excelente excepto por varios desajustes propios de no conocer mucho sobre el pais

La población cundiboyacense (cundinamarca y boyacá) se crearon unidas y sufrieron procesos de poblamiento y colonizacion muy similares,
no tiene nada de sentido unos resultados tan dispares, lo mismo para bogotá.

Igual con el Tolima Grande (Tolima y Huila), son dos poblaciones mestizas que se forman en procesos idénticos, el porcentaje deberia ser el mismo para ambas
Con el Viejo Caldas pareces si acertar en cuanto a resultados similares

Sobre el Bolivar y Cauca hay varios estudios representativas que arrojan resultados muy diferentes

Estudio genetico reciente sobre el departamento del Cauca (48% Native American, 14% African and 39% European).

Sobre Bolivar

Spoiler!

Estos son los estudios mas completos y actuales que encontré

El primero es mas o menos represnentativo de la clase media-alta/alta cartagenera

https://file.scirp.org/Html/3-1370226_55160.htm

"Our results show that Cartagena is an admixture population consisting of European (80%), Amerindian (10%) and African ancestries (10%),
which are represented by haplogroups R1b and I2a (xI2a1), Q-M242/Q-M3, and E1b1a/E1b1b, respectively."


------------------------------------

Este segundo es mas represnetativo de las clases medias y baja del departamento del Bolivar (donde se encuentra Cartagena)
https://www.fsigeneticssup.com/artic...15)30034-2/pdf

"Admixture proportions obtained for AIM-InDels represent the individual estimation of the admixture in the sample.
These results indicate that the population of the northern. Department of Bolivar has a high degree of admixture.
The European component represents about half of the gene pool of the population (49.1%), while 21.5% is from African contribution and
29.4% is Native American. It is very important to note that the
proportion of Native American ancestry was higher than thepreviously reported [2,3–5]"

Por ultimo Teniendo en cuenta otros estudios y mi conocimiento sobre el terreno. Solo para la region andina, esto seria mi resultado
