A focused population profile of Jordanian Bedouins, their Levantine-Arabian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Jordanian Bedouins are Arabic-speaking tribal and pastoral communities connected to Jordan's desert, steppe, and southern Levantine-Arabian borderlands.
Arabic and Bedouin Arabic varieties are central, with Jordanian Arabic also widely used. Jordanian Bedouin history sits between the southern Levant, Hejaz, northern Arabia, and wider Arabian tribal networks.
As a genetic reference, Bedouin Jordan is useful for comparison with Saudi Arab Hejaz, Yemeni Arab Al Bayda, Bedouin Negev Arabian Profile, Yemeni Arab Dhamar, Saudi Arab Jizan, Yemeni Arab Ma'rib, Emirati Arab, broad Yemeni Arab, Yemeni Arab Al Jawf, Saudi Arab, Yemenite Jew, and Saudi Arab Najd.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Bedouin Jordan is Saudi Arab Hejaz. Other nearby references include Yemeni Arab Al Bayda, Bedouin Negev, Saudi Arab, and Yemeni Arab Ma'rib. This gives the Bedouin Jordan profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Jordanian Bedouin ancestry is best interpreted as Arabian and southern Levantine Bedouin, close to Hejazi, Negev Bedouin Arabian, Yemeni, Saudi, Emirati, and Yemenite Jewish references.
The heatmap should emphasize Jordan, the southern Levant, Negev, Hejaz, northern Arabia, Yemen, western Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and Arabian Bedouin reference zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Saudi Arab Hejaz. Other nearby references include Yemeni Arab Al Bayda, Bedouin Negev, Saudi Arab, and Yemeni Arab Ma'rib.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Saudi Arab Hejaz is the closest listed match to the Bedouin Jordan average after removing Bedouin Jordan itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Bedouin Jordan G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
