The impact of socioeconomic and phenotypic traits on self-perception of ethnicity in Latin America

Abstract Self-perception of ethnicity is a complex social trait shaped by both, biological and non-biological factors. We developed a comprehensive analysis of ethnic self-perception (ESP) on a large sample of Latin American mestizos from five countries, differing in age, socio-economic and educatio...
