🇨🇴 Genetic Landscape of Colombia

Colombia is one of the most tri-ethnic nations in the Americas — a blend of Indigenous, Spanish, and African ancestry that varies dramatically by region. The Andean highlands show more Indigenous and European traits, the Pacific coast is predominantly Afro-Colombian, and the Caribbean coast is the most mixed. Colombia has one of the world's highest O blood type frequencies (62% combined), reflecting strong Indigenous genetic roots. The country's biodiversity extends to its people.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average height in Colombia?

Men in Colombia average about 171 cm (5'7") and women about 158 cm (5'2"). Anyone above 180 cm (men) or 166 cm (women) is in roughly the tallest 10% of the country.

How is rarity calculated in Colombia?

Each trait's local frequency is multiplied together. Because Colombia's distributions differ from world averages, the same person can score very differently here than globally.

Is my rarity in Colombia different from my global rarity?

Usually, yes. Traits that are rare worldwide can be common locally — and the reverse. Run the global calculator and compare it with the numbers on this page.
