Explore the ancient reference Portugal MN, its closest modern genetic matches, ancestry models, and genetic distance heatmap.
Portugal MN 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 Portugal MN is Italian Sardinia (Sardinian). Other nearby references include Italian Sardinia North (Sardinian), Italian Sardinia Benetutti (Sardinian), Italian Sardinia Sulcis-Iglesiente (Sardinian), and Basque France Soule. This gives the Portugal MN profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Portugal MN 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 Portugal MN profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Portugal MN average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Italian Sardinia (Sardinian). Other nearby references include Italian Sardinia North (Sardinian), Italian Sardinia Benetutti (Sardinian), Italian Sardinia Sulcis-Iglesiente (Sardinian), and Basque France Soule.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Italian Sardinia (Sardinian) is the closest listed match to the Portugal MN average after removing Portugal MN itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Portugal MN G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
