Image: Geographic ancestry distribution of Mexico

Description: Geographic distribution of Native American (blue), African (green) and European (red) ancestry based on individual estimates for samples from Mexico. In the Mexican sample, Native American ancestry is highest in the centre/south of the country with the north showing the highest proportion of European Ancestry. African ancestry is generally low across Mexico except for a few coastal regions. To facilitate comparison, color intensity transitions occur at 10% ancestry intervals for all maps. The birthplace of individuals are indicated by purple dots on the African ancestry map. Cropped from File:Geographic ancestry distribution of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.png.
