ABSTRACT: With more than 180 ethnic and linguistics groups, Mexico is a rich source for anthropological and population studies. This country witnessed the rise and fall of major civilizations, including the well-known Maya and Aztec civilizations, but as a result of heavy European colonization and influx, the population landscape has dramatically changed over the past five centuries. Today less than 30% of modern Mexicans identify themselves as being fully or partly Amerindians and the remaining population seems to have very little in common with their pre-Columbian ancestors. However, this is not the case when the maternal genetic component is evaluated in detail. Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences, including HVS-I, HVS-II and HVS-III, from more than 2,000 subjects revealed an overwhelming Native American legacy in the modern Mexican population, with ~90% of mtDNAs belonging to the four major pan-American haplogroups A2, B2, C1 and D1. This finding supports a European contribution to the Mexican gene pool primarily by male settlers and confirms the effectiveness of employing the uniparentally-transmitted mtDNA as a tool to reconstruct a country’s history.

摘要:拥有超过180个语言民族群体的墨西哥是人类学和群体研究的丰富资源。这个国家见证了包括著名的玛雅文明和阿兹台克文明在内的重大文明的兴起和衰亡。但是由于欧洲的大规模殖民涌入,其人口概况在过去的五个世纪里发生了剧烈的变化。今天不到30%的现代墨西哥人自我认同为完全或者部分美洲印地安人, 而其余的人群却似乎与他们在哥伦布时代之前的祖先鲜有共同之处。但是,在仔细研究了母系遗传成分之后,我们发现事实并非如此。通过对来自两千多个样本的线粒体DNA调控区序列(包括HVS-1、HVS-II、HVS-III)的分析,我们发现了现代墨西哥人群中存在着极大的美洲原住民痕迹。现代墨西哥人中,90%的线粒体DNA属于四个主要的泛美洲单倍群(A2、B2、C1、D1)。这个发现不仅支持欧洲人对墨西哥基因库的贡献主要是通过男性殖民者的学说,还证实了采用单亲传递的线粒体DNA来重构一个国家历史这个方法的有效性。
