According to demographic history, Ecuador has experienced shifts in its Native American populations caused by European colonization and the African slave trade. The continuous admixture events among Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans occurred differently in each region of the country, producing a stratified population. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the level of genetic substructure in the Ecuadorian Mestizo population.

调查厄瓜多尔混合种群的遗传多样性

根据人口历史，由于欧洲殖民和非洲奴隶贸易，厄瓜多尔经历了美洲原住民人口的变化。欧洲人、美洲原住民和非洲人之间的连续混合事件在该国每个地区发生的情况不同，产生了分层人口。因此，本研究的目的是调查厄瓜多尔混血种群的遗传亚结构水平。
