South America was less densely populated than Central America when the European arrived

It always surprises me how White Colombians are. I always thought the typical Colombian looked like Karol G or J Balvin or something.
Jose Bell
we are all blacks
Nicholas Morales
well, karol g and j balvin are pretty average for here. Anything "whiter" than them is less common imho

I had a nightmare that I was in hell. It was just me and a computer, browsing latino bait threads on Yas Forums with nothing but brazilians, americans, colombians and mexicans replying to the posts.
Forever.

I don't have an answer, but I do know there have been waves of immigration to SA from different parts of Europe at different times, to my knowledge at least to Chile and Argentina. So there is more white genes to the mix here, I would suppose?
Chile received Germans in the south in the 1800s (there is even a german colonizers museum in Frutillar), some Italians in the early 1900s, Croatians and others. Argentina received lots of Italians, apparently so did Uruguay?
On the other hand, the most developed, most powerful precolumbian civilizations in América were based in current-day Perú and Central América (México and Guatemala?) They probably remained in larger amounts after the invasion and contributed more to their gene pools. In other places, tribes were less organized, with smaller numbers. They probably did worse at surviving the invaders. Many were hunted and terminated as vermin, to make way for colonizers.
Spaniards did mix with the locals. I wonder just how much.
