Bachelor's Thesis Summary: Analysis of the maternal lineage of inhabitants of Tabuco during the Postclassic Period

Abstract

This bachelor's thesis represents progress in understanding genetic diversity and population relationships in the Huasteca Veracruzana region, through the analysis of human remains from the archaeological site of Tabuco. Using ancient DNA analysis techniques, the genetic structure of ancient populations has been investigated, providing new insights into Tabuco. The results reveal data on the probable Mayan origins of Tabuco and suggest a genetic relationship between this site and other Mayan groups in the region. Limitations in the interpretation of findings are also noted, emphasizing the need for future research.
