A focused population profile of Afro-Cuban, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Afro-Cuban is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Afro-Cuban 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-Cuban.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Afro-Cuban is Afro-Martinican. Other nearby references include Afro-Guadeloupean, Afro-Puerto Rican, Unkechaug (European+SSA-Mixed), and Cape Verdean. This gives the Afro-Cuban 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-Cuban 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-Cuban profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Afro-Cuban average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Afro-Martinican. Other nearby references include Afro-Guadeloupean, Afro-Puerto Rican, Unkechaug (European+SSA-Mixed), and Cape Verdean.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Afro-Martinican is the closest listed match to the Afro-Cuban average after removing Afro-Cuban itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Afro-Cuban G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
