A focused population profile of Afro-Brazilian, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Afro-Brazilian is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Afro-Brazilian with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Afro-Brazilian.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Afro-Brazilian is Afro-Haitian. Other nearby references include Afro-Barbadian, Afro-Grenadian, Afro-Panamanian, and Fulani Guinea (SSA Profile). This gives the Afro-Brazilian profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Afro-Brazilian average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Afro-Brazilian profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Afro-Brazilian average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Afro-Haitian. Other nearby references include Afro-Barbadian, Afro-Grenadian, Afro-Panamanian, and Fulani Guinea (SSA Profile).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Afro-Haitian is the closest listed match to the Afro-Brazilian average after removing Afro-Brazilian itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Afro-Brazilian G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
