Genetic study Average genetic admixtures in Latin America by country

Map:

For making the map I selected studies which seemed the most reasonable to me, while in this link you can find more studies:

It is interesting that many Afro-Caribbeans actually have quite significant amounts of Native American admixture.

Very interesting. A few numbers that surprised me:
1) Paraguay with over 10% African ancestry;
2) Uruguay significantly whiter than Argentina (which gets all the fame for being European);
3) 17% native ancestry in Brazil (I didn’t think it would exceed 10%);
4) 3% African ancestry in Chile (nearly the same as Peru, which I’ve always thought to have a sizable black community)

It’s also “funny” how people in these deeply mixed countries of Spanish South America love to abuse Brazilian footballers and supporters with “macaco”/“mono” insults…

Total for Latin American countries with data available (population 665,698,049):

Caucasian - 50.90%
Amerindian - 35.02%
African - 14.08%

Latin American countries for which data is still missing - population 5,178,802.

I'm also surprised by over 10% African ancestry in Paraguay in that 2021 study.

I'm looking for some other studies about Paraguay to see if they confirm this.
