Abstract Background Within the southern end of South America, Western Patagonia arises as an intricate region channels, fjords, and islands. This holds evidence human occupation since ca. 14,500 cal years BP, with distinctive maritime adaptations developing around 7300 BP. Historically, three major populations were characterized part these traditions: Yámana, Kawésqar, Chono. The arrival European population had a profound impact in communities, affecting their lifestyles, territory size...
Abstract Objectives Punta Arenas is a Chilean city situated on ancestral Aönikenk territory. The was founded by 19th‐ and 20th‐century colonists from Chile (Chiloé) Europe (Croatia). This work uses uniparental ancestry‐informative markers (AIMs) to explore the effects of historic migratory admixture patterns current genetic composition Arenas. Methods We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), Y‐chromosome single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 141 AIMs obtained 129 samples male residents with...
Abstract Objectives To analyze the mitochondrial diversity in three admixed populations and evaluate historical migration effect of native southern population movement to Santiago (capital Chile). The intensity was quantified using lineages restricted South‐Central groups. Methods D‐loop sequences were genotyped 550 unrelated individuals from San Felipe‐Los Andes ( n = 108), 217), Concepción 225). Sequence processing, alignment, haplogroup inference carried out, different genetic structure...
Abstract Objectives Northern Chile is an area characterized by a complex cultural and demographic trajectory. During the last few centuries, this trajectory has become destination of intra‐ intercontinental migratory waves. In study, we analyzed Y chromosome to evaluate how admixture patterns have affected genetic composition populations in northern compared with other country. Methods A total 311 people from urban (Antofagasta Calama), rural (Azapa Camarones), Native (Aymara Atacameño) were...
