The Brazilian population, estimated in approximately 204 million inhabitants by IBGE
(data from July 2015) [
[1]
], is considered one of the most admixed in the world, composed mainly by a combination
of European, African and Native American ancestries.Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia Estatística (IBGE), www.ibge.gov.br.
