Brazilian DNA: 68% European, 20% African, 12% Amerindian

I believe that, I'm 17% originated from the continent. They give me 16.6% Al Andalus (SSA) in those tests

Their "European" is more like non-African and non-Amerindian rather than actual European, considering how many people of Levantine, North African, etc. origin are counted as white there.

You're confusing self-declared white with genetic analysis. NA, J1 and J2 and South Asian is tagged. Probably more than 80% of the population has some mixture of NAM, AFR and NA. The brown population is 50-55% euro iberico + NA

Why? South is more developed?

Immigration was concentrated in the south and southeast where there was fertile land and closer to the sea (as in the USA and Canada)

This is based on a summary of as many as 51 different genetic studies!:

Abstract:

The genetic background of the Brazilian population is mainly characterized by three parental populations: European, African, and Native American. The aim of this study was to overview the genetic ancestry estimates for different Brazilian geographic regions and analyze factors involved in these estimates. In this systematic scoping review were included 51 studies, comprehending 81 populations of 19 states from five regions of Brazil. To reduce the potential of bias from studies with different sampling methods, we calculated the mean genetic ancestry weighted by the number of individuals. The weighted mean proportions of European, African, and Native American ancestries were 68.1%, 19.6%, and 11.6%, respectively. At the regional level, the highest European contribution occurred in the South, while the highest African and Native American contributions occurred in the Northeastern and Northern regions, respectively. Among states in the Northeast region, Bahia and Ceará showed significant differences, suggesting distinct demographic histories. This review contributes for a broader understanding of the Brazilian ancestry and indicates that the ancestry estimates are influenced by the type of molecular marker and the sampling method. (...)

What are the hgs?!
