DescriptionGeographic ancestry distribution of Brazil.png
English: Geographic distribution of Native American (blue), African (green) and European (red) ancestry based on individual estimates for samples from Brazil. The Brazilian sample shows widespread European ancestry with the highest levels being observed in the south. African ancestry is also widespread (except for the south) and reaches its highest values in the East of the country. Native American ancestry is highest in the north-west (Amazonia).
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.
