"Traces of the Aztec (Mexica) people are very much alive today, primarily through the Nahua people, a large indigenous group in Mexico (over 1.5 million) who speak Nahuatl (the Aztec language), maintain traditions, and are direct descendants, though their genetic makeup is a blend of pre-Hispanic and European/African ancestry due to colonization. Their cultural legacy also influences modern Mexico, from language to archaeology, and many Mexicans have significant Indigenous ancestry, with DNA studies showing high proportions of Native American DNA in populations like Mexico City.
Who Are the Descendants?

Nahua People: The most direct descendants, living in rural Mexico, farming, practicing crafts, and blending Nahuatl language and traditions with Catholicism.
General Mestizo Population: Most Mexicans have mixed ancestry, with significant Indigenous roots (often Nahua/Mexica) alongside European and African heritage. "


They "maintain traditions"?  What? Like eating hearts and human sacrifice?
