A focused population profile of Afro-Grenadian people, their eastern Caribbean background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Afro-Grenadian refers to Grenadians with substantial African-descended ancestry, shaped by the Atlantic slave trade, Grenadian plantation history, Caribbean regional history, and later diaspora communities.
English is the official language, while Grenadian Creole English is central to everyday cultural context. Grenada also shares broader eastern Caribbean historical links with Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad, and other islands.
As a genetic reference, Afro-Grenadian is useful for comparison with Afro-Haitian, Afro-Barbadian, Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Panamanian, Fulani Senegal, Afro-Vincentian, and African American.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Afro-Grenadian is Afro-Haitian. Other nearby references include Afro-Barbadian, Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Brazilian, and Afro-Panamanian. This gives the Afro-Grenadian profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Afro-Grenadian ancestry is best interpreted as eastern Caribbean African-diaspora ancestry, with possible European and other regional layers depending on family history.
The heatmap should emphasize Grenada, the eastern Caribbean, Barbados, St. Vincent, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Brazil, and broader Atlantic diaspora comparison zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Afro-Haitian. Other nearby references include Afro-Barbadian, Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Brazilian, and Afro-Panamanian.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Afro-Haitian is the closest listed match to the Afro-Grenadian average after removing Afro-Grenadian itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Afro-Grenadian G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
