The paper develops a method to estimate multiple admixture events using 3-locus linkage disequilibrium, demonstrating its accuracy on simulated data and applying it to Colombian and Mexican populations.

This study uses genomic data to analyze the recent population history of the Mapuche, finding shared ancestry with Southern Patagonia and Central Chile populations, a population bottleneck around 1650 AD, and post-admixture adaptation in Chileans.
