Latin America is the historic meeting place of indigenous Amerindian, European, and African populations. Amerindian contribution is greatest along the Pacific coastline, peaking in Central America and the Andes. European contribution is greatest along the Atlantic coastline, peaking in southern Brazil. African contribution is also greatest along the Atlantic coast, peaking in northeastern Brazil. Individual affiliations can vary within each of these admixed populations, with some people inheriting stronger genetic connections to one or more contributing groups.

Understanding these patterns of admixture can help clarify individual match results with Latin American and Hispanic populations. To view a map illustrating estimated Amerindian, European and African contributions to several Latin American and Hispanic populations, click here.

Native American Panel results have been updated, and Minnesota Sioux and Chippewa match scores no longer reflect European admixture. Sample Native American Panel results can be viewed by clicking a link below:
