A focused population profile of Negev Bedouins with an Arabian profile, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Negev Bedouins are Arabic-speaking Bedouin communities associated with the Negev desert and the southern Levant. Their histories connect southern Palestine/Israel, Sinai, Jordan, the Hijaz, and northern Arabian tribal networks.
Bedouin Arabic varieties are part of the wider Arabic dialect continuum and often preserve tribal and desert-region features. The World Genetics label 'Arabian profile' indicates that this specific reference is shifted toward Arabian Peninsula-like matches rather than a general Levantine average.
Because Bedouin groups can vary by tribe, region, and history, this page should be read as a specific Negev Bedouin Arabian-profile reference, not as a single profile for all Bedouins.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the Negev Bedouin Arabian-profile reference should sit close to Arabian Peninsula and Bedouin-related populations, especially those connected with northern Arabia, the Hijaz, Jordan, and the southern Levant.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestry model gives deep component structure, while the closest matches show whether the reference is closer to Arabian, Levantine, or mixed Bedouin-related profiles.
The heatmap should emphasize northern Arabia, the Negev, Jordan, the Hijaz, and nearby Arabian references, reflecting the Arabian-shifted character of this Bedouin profile.
This Arabian-profile Negev Bedouin reference is shifted toward Arabian Peninsula-related populations, though Bedouin groups can vary by tribe and region.
This specific reference is labeled Arabian profile, so it should be read as more Arabian-shifted than a general Levantine average.
Negev Bedouins are associated with the Negev desert and wider southern Levant/northern Arabian tribal networks.
