The ancestors of the Mexican people in general are:

  1. Several Native American tribes, including Aztecs, Mayans, Zapotecs, Tlaxcalans or Huichol.
  2. People of Spanish origin.
  3. People from African ancestry, especially from Western Africa (e.g. Congo, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Angola).
  4. People from all over the world who migrated to Mexico after Mexico declared its independence from Spain in 1810. Some of them would include French, German, Portuguese, Italian, American, Canadian and since the late 20th century, Philippine, South Korean and Chinese as well.
