Three Major Ecogeographic Domains -- the Andes, the Amazonia, and the Pacific Coast

Caption

The vast cultural and linguistic diversity of Latin American countries is still far from being fully represented by genetic surveys. A new study explores the genetic roots of 26 populations from diverse regions and cultures of western South America and Mexico. The results reveal long-distance connections between speakers of the same language, and new traces of genetic diversity within the Amazonia.
