I never understood this. From what I was taught in history class, masses of native north & south americans died because of European diseases. And for each latin american country, of course there are large african and native descents, but from what I read each country has a massive part of Spanish heritage.
Nowadays, how many humans live between El Paso and Ushuaia? More than half a billion? Yet Spain is only a country of 40m people. How is this possible?

What I don’t see in other comments is just the mathematics of it.
Turns out, if just a few Asian guys move to an isolated small population like Iceland and they and their descendants reproduce at the average rate with native Icelanders, it doesn’t take very many generations until almost everyone in Iceland has a little Asian heritage.
