About Portugal LNCA
Portugal LNCA 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 Portugal LNCA DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Portugal LNCA is Italian Sardinia North (Sardinian). Other nearby references include Italian Sardinia (Sardinian), Italian Sardinia Benetutti (Sardinian), Italian Sardinia Sulcis-Iglesiente (Sardinian), and Basque Spain Navarre Northwest. This gives the Portugal LNCA profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
