A focused population profile of Afro-Guadeloupean people, their French Caribbean background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Afro-Guadeloupean refers to Guadeloupeans with substantial African-descended ancestry, shaped by French Caribbean colonial history, the Atlantic slave trade, island society, and later diaspora communities.
French and Guadeloupean Creole are central language contexts. Guadeloupe also shares regional history with Martinique and the wider Lesser Antilles.
As a genetic reference, Afro-Guadeloupean is useful for comparison with Afro-Cuban, Afro-Martinican, Cape Verdean, Afro-Puerto Rican, Unkechaug European+SSA-Mixed, and mixed North African or Atlantic references that appear nearby.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Afro-Guadeloupean is Afro-Cuban. Other nearby references include Afro-Martinican, Cape Verdean, Afro-Puerto Rican, and Unkechaug (European+SSA-Mixed). This gives the Afro-Guadeloupean 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-Guadeloupean ancestry is best interpreted as French Caribbean African-diaspora ancestry, with possible European, Indigenous American, and broader Atlantic layers depending on family history.
The heatmap should emphasize Guadeloupe, Martinique, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles, Cape Verde and Atlantic comparison points, and broader Caribbean diaspora zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Afro-Cuban. Other nearby references include Afro-Martinican, Cape Verdean, Afro-Puerto Rican, and Unkechaug (European+SSA-Mixed).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Afro-Cuban is the closest listed match to the Afro-Guadeloupean average after removing Afro-Guadeloupean itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Afro-Guadeloupean G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
