Origin and genetic differentiation of three Native Mexican groups (Purépechas, Triquis and Mayas): Contribution of CODIS-STRs to the history of human populations of Mesoamerica

Abstract

Although results suggest that European admixture has increased the similarity between Native Mexican groups, the differentiation and inconsistent clustering by language or geography stresses the importance of serial founder effect and/or genetic drift in showing their present genetic relationships.
