shows greatest similarity to the Wayuu (sampled in Northern Colombia and genetically closest to Chibchan-speakers, although not classified as Chibchan[23]) and the Cabecar (from Costa Rica, in lower Central America). The Cabecar are also the Native population most similar to the Mestizo population of the Central Valley of Costa Rica (CVCR). Finally, Oriente (in Guatemala) shows greatest genetic similarity to the Maya (sampled in Southern Mexico) and the Kaqchikel (sampled in Guatemala). The populations of Mexico City, Medellin, Cundinamarca and RGS appear to have more heterogeneous Native American ancestries.
