About Bulgaria MLBA
Bulgaria MLBA 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.
What is Bulgaria MLBA DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Bulgaria MLBA is Russian Mordovia. Other nearby references include Norwegian Nordland, Swedish Dalarna Falun, Dutch Groningen, and Schaghticoke (European-Mixed). This gives the Bulgaria MLBA profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
