A focused population profile of Afro-Vincentians, their Lesser Antillean African diaspora background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Afro-Vincentians are Vincentians of African descent from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, shaped by the history of the Lesser Antilles, Atlantic slavery, plantation society, free communities, Garifuna-related regional history, and modern Caribbean identity. The population sits within the wider Afro-Caribbean diaspora.
English is the official language, and Vincentian Creole is widely used. Individual family histories can include African-related ancestry, European-related ancestry, Indigenous Caribbean-related ancestry, and other Caribbean connections.
As a genetic reference, Afro-Vincentian is useful for comparison with Cameroonian Semi-Bantu, Aghem, Mbo, Cameroonian Bafut, Igbo, Jola Gambia, Mende Sierra Leone, Akan Ghana, Lemande, and Tikar South.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Afro-Vincentian is African American. Other nearby references include Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Bahamian, Afro-Trinidadian, and Afro-Panamanian. This gives the Afro-Vincentian 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-Vincentian is best interpreted as a Lesser Antillean African diaspora profile, with strong West/Central African-related affinity in this reference comparison.
The heatmap should emphasize Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Lesser Antilles, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia, and wider African diaspora comparison zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is African American. Other nearby references include Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Bahamian, Afro-Trinidadian, and Afro-Panamanian.
In the current modern G25 reference set, African American is the closest listed match to the Afro-Vincentian average after removing Afro-Vincentian itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Afro-Vincentian G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
