A focused population profile of Afro-Yemeni people from Shabwah, their southern Arabian and African-diaspora background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Afro-Yemeni Shabwah refers to a Shabwah-linked Yemeni reference with substantial African-related ancestry. Shabwah sits in southern Yemen, between Hadramaut, Abyan, Marib, and the wider southern Arabian world.
Arabic is the main language setting, especially Yemeni Arabic. The profile should be interpreted through southern Arabian, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and African-diaspora contact histories.
As a genetic reference, Afro-Yemeni Shabwah is useful for comparison with Afro-Mehri, Afro-Saudi, Afro-Emirati, Swahili Zanzibar, Baggara Chad Highly Arabian-Mixed, Afro-Kuwaiti, Hartani Arab Algeria Algiers, Swahili Kenya Pate, Hartani/Gnawa Berber Central Atlas Tamazight Morocco Errachidia, and Sudanese Arab Kababish.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Afro-Yemeni Shabwah is Afro-Mehri. Other nearby references include Afro-Saudi, Afro-Emirati, Swahili Zanzibar, and Baggara Chad (Highly Arabian-Mixed). This gives the Afro-Yemeni Shabwah 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-Yemeni Shabwah ancestry is best interpreted through Shabwah, southern Arabia, the Gulf, East Africa, the Swahili coast, and Red Sea-related Afro-Arabian contexts.
The heatmap should emphasize Shabwah, Yemen, Mahra, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, East Africa, the Swahili coast, and broader Afro-Arabian comparison zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Afro-Mehri. Other nearby references include Afro-Saudi, Afro-Emirati, Swahili Zanzibar, and Baggara Chad (Highly Arabian-Mixed).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Afro-Mehri is the closest listed match to the Afro-Yemeni Shabwah average after removing Afro-Yemeni Shabwah itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Afro-Yemeni Shabwah G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
