Distribution of individual Native ancestry estimated in samples from Native Americans (shown in blue) and two Latin American urban centers (850 residents of Medellín, Colombia shown in red, and 220 residents of Mexico City, Mexico shown in green). For each of the three population samples, the x-axis indicates the proportion of Native ancestry (in 0.1 unit intervals) and the y-axis indicates the proportion of individuals with that ancestry estimate. The Native American group includes 225 individuals from North, Central, and South America. Ancestry proportions were estimated using autosomal genetic markers.
