Archaeology and ancient environmental studies

Mestizos constitute the largest population in Mexico (∼90%); they arose from roughly 500 years of admixture between Europeans, Amerindians and, to a lesser extent, Africans initially brought to America as slaves [ [1] Rubi-Castellanos R. Martínez-Cortés G. Muñoz-Valle J.F. González-Martín A. Cerda-Flores R.M. Anaya-Palafox M. et al. Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican demography approximates the present-day ancestry of Mestizos throughout the territory of Mexico. Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 2009; : 284-294 Crossref PubMed Scopus (151) Google Scholar ]. Short tandem repeats of the Y chromosome (Y-STRs) are used to solve special situations in paternity and forensic cases, and they are helpful to disclose the origin, history, and evolution of human populations [ [2] Jobling M.A. Tyler-Smith C. Fathers and sons: the Y-chromosome and human evolution. TIG. 1995; 11: 449-456 Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (304) Google Scholar ]. The PowerPlex® Y System and AmpFlSTR® Yfiler™ Kit have been used to analyze 12 and 17 Y-STRs, respectively, in Mexican–Mestizo males from different populations of Mexico [ 3 Gutiérrez-Alarcón A.B. Moguel-Torres M. León-Jiménez A.K. Cuéllar-Nevárez G.E. Rangel-Villalobos H. Allele and haplotype distribution for 16 Y-STRs (AmpFlSTRY-filer kit) in the state of Chihuahua at North Center of Mexico.

Consequently, the aim of this study was to analyze the Mexican–Mestizo population of Monterrey located in the Nuevo León state (Northeast, Mexico), which has never been studied for any Y-STR genetic system.
