About Afro-Brazilian People

Afro-Brazilians (preta per IBGE classification) comprise approximately 10.3% of the population per the 2022 census — about 20.6 million people self-identifying as Black. The community descends primarily from the approximately 4.9 million enslaved Africans brought to colonial Brazil between the 16th and 19th centuries — the largest African slave trade destination in the Americas, accounting for nearly 40% of all transatlantic slave-trade arrivals. Source populations were predominantly West African (Yoruba, Fon, Ewe) and Central/West-Central African (Bantu-language groups including Kongo, Mbundu, Ovimbundu). The population is concentrated in the Northeast (especially Bahia, Pernambuco, Maranhão) and in major urban centers throughout Brazil, with substantial Afro-Brazilian cultural institutions (candomblé, capoeira, samba) tracing direct lineage to specific African ethnic source populations.

Typical Afro-Brazilian Phenotypes

Reference for AI generation — hair, eyes, skin, facial structure, build

Skin tone spans Fitzpatrick IV-VI, with V-VI the modal distribution. Hair texture is most often Andre Walker types 3A-4C — curly to coily — with coloration predominantly black or very dark brown, occasionally with reddish undertones in some communities. Facial features include broader nasal bases, fuller lips, and rounded face shapes characteristic of West and West-Central African source populations, with substantial individual variance. Eye color is predominantly brown to dark brown. Build is on average somewhat taller and more athletic than the Brazilian national average. There is genuine heterogeneity within the Afro-Brazilian population — Bahia's population shows higher Yoruba ancestry, Northeastern coastal populations show stronger Central African ancestry, and Southeastern urban populations are more admixed. The category preta/Afro-Brazilian is distinguished from pardo/Pardo Brazilian by greater self-identified African ancestry concentration, though the phenotypic boundary between the two is gradient, not categorical.
