Brazil only about 10 % for the total? Seems a bit low.

I didn't include Pardos because they usually have below 40% of African ancestry. And they have some Amerindian too.

Brazil only about 10 % for the total? Seems a bit low.

By the way here are 109 Dominican GEDmatch kits sorted from highest to lowest amount of African admixture:

15 out of 109 have 50% or more African admixture, nearly 14%, a bit more than the census figure of 11.28%:



I will also post a similar graph for Brazilian GEDmatch kits (the sample size will be much larger in this case) and you will see that relatively few have over 50% of African admixture (though it might be to some extent due to sampling bias as it is possible that White Brazilians buy DNA tests more often than Black Brazilians).

Okay, here is the graph for Brazilian GEDmatch kits (samples were collected by Argentano, BirdMan and me):



This includes a few dozen academic Amerindian samples (mainly Surui and Karitiana from the HGDP dataset).

=====

As I said it is possible that there is a sampling bias against Black Brazilians on GEDmatch, but even with such bias it seems that the census figure of 10% Blacks in Brazil is probably correct when it comes to the percent of people who are 50% or more Sub-Saharan African genetically. In this GEDmatch sample it is less than 10%.
