The results of the work, emerged from an analysis of blood donors in diverse regions of our country, indicate that there is a 65% of European component, a 30% Amerindian and a 5% African. Amerindian lineage is mainly maternal, decreases as we come close to the city of Buenos Aires and increases towards the north and the south.<\/p>\n<p>How many times we have heard that in Argentina \u201cwe come from the ships\u2026\u201d and that we are \u201ca melting pot\u201d. This is believed by many people and it was written many times and even legitimated as valid knowledge. But, do we really come from the ships and are we a real melting pot?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat exists is the mythology that we are white and European \u2013indicates to InfoUniversidades Dr. Francisco Ra\u00fal Carnese, who is in charge of the laboratory of Biological Anthropology of the University-. However, our population is mixed. The native composition is very striking, especially in maternal ancestry, which increases towards the north and the south and it is also very important in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, particularly in the suburbs. We have the need to \u201cbleach\u201d populations, but the concept of \u201cmelting pot\u201d is questioned. The populations\u2019 genetics showed that there is no continuity between human populations, that the biological variations are of continuous nature. Races do not reflect biological reality, but are social constructions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/argentinainvestiga.edu.ar\/english\/noticia.php?titulo=a_30_percent_of_mixed_race_component_in_argentina%92s_population&amp;id=1531\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 30 Percent of Mixed Race Component in Argentina\u2019s Population Agentina Investiga: Divulgaci\u00f3n y Noticas Universitarias Universidad Maim\u00f3nides Facultad de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas 2012-04-09 Adri\u00e1n Giacchino Departamento de Prensa Universidad Maim\u00f3nides The research of a team formed by anthropologists, biologists, biochemists and archeologists proves that the autochthonous contribution in Argentina\u2019s population might be of a 30%.
