Question

Which of the following coutnries contains a population whose ethnicity is dominated by indigenous ancestry?

Answer 1

Answer: c) Paraguay

Options:

a) Argentina

b) Brazil

c) Paraguay

d) Uruguay

e) Chile

Step-by-step explanation:

The countries listed above have a mixture of tribes and races. Over time, due to migration and colonization in these countries, people of indigenous ancestry have reduced. However, this does not apply to Paraguay where indigenous people make up 95% of the population.

In comparison, Chile has a majority of white and indigenous peoples, followed by the mapuches. In Argentina, only 8% of the population are of indigenous ancestry and this reduces further in Brazil where only 0.43% of the population identify as being of indigenous ancestry.
