Explore the ancient reference Botswana Xaro c. AD 550, its closest modern genetic matches, ancestry models, and genetic distance heatmap.
Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 is a reference in the World Genetics ancient G25 dataset. This page compares its coordinates with modern and ancient references. Labels may identify a sampled group, archaeological context, individual, or simulation; they do not necessarily describe an entire ancient population.
The map shows similarity to present-day reference populations, not the historical territory of this ancient group. Genetic similarity alone does not establish direct descent.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 is Xhosa. Other nearby references include Duma San, Tswana, Sotho South Africa, and Sotho Lesotho. This gives the Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 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 Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Xhosa. Other nearby references include Duma San, Tswana, Sotho South Africa, and Sotho Lesotho.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Xhosa is the closest listed match to the Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 average after removing Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Botswana Xaro c. AD 550 G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
Date: approximate calendar estimate from the reference label.
