About North Macedonia IA
North Macedonia IA 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 North Macedonia IA DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for North Macedonia IA is Italian Lombardy Brescia (Lombard). Other nearby references include Italian Piedmont Val Borbera (Ligurian), Italian Romagna (Romagnol), Italian Tuscany (Tuscan), and Albanian Tosk Cham Greece. This gives the North Macedonia IA profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
