Explore the ancient reference New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori, its closest modern genetic matches, ancestry models, and genetic distance heatmap.
New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori 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 New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori is Tahitian. Other nearby references include Samoan, Marquesan Nuku Hiva (European-Mixed), Marquesan Hiva Oa (European+East Asian-Mixed), and Tahitian (European-Mixed). This gives the New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori 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 New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Tahitian. Other nearby references include Samoan, Marquesan Nuku Hiva (European-Mixed), Marquesan Hiva Oa (European+East Asian-Mixed), and Tahitian (European-Mixed).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Tahitian is the closest listed match to the New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori average after removing New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the New Zealand Early-Late Modern Maori/Moriori G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
