Paleolithic migration prior to end of the Last Glacial Maximum spread anatomically modern humans throughout Afro-Eurasia and to the Americas. During the Holocene climatic optimum, formerly isolated populations began to move and merge, giving rise to the pre-modern distribution of the world's major language families.
In 1943 the census showed 74.3% (3,553,312 people) self identified as (blanco) white. [75] [76] In Costa Rica 83.7% of the population is White and Mestizo.
