My point is, the dilution of a small, possibly short-lived addition to the local genome — particularly if the short-lived part is due to genocidal massacre, which was commonplace in Precolumbian America just as it has been throughout the rest of the world — means that ancestry appears more narrow that it is.

" Probably the most famous quote about the Cloud People comes from the Spanish conquers Pedro Cieza de Leon, he wrote that the Chachapoya were ““the whitest and most handsome of all the people that I have seen, and their wives were so beautiful that because of their gentleness, many of them deserved to be the Incas’ wives and to also be taken to the Sun Temple.”"
