A focused population profile of Birhor people, their eastern Indian Adivasi background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Birhor people are an Adivasi community of eastern India, especially associated with Jharkhand and nearby forested regions of Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
Birhor belongs to the Munda language family, with Hindi and regional Indo-Aryan languages also used in wider settings. The genetic profile clusters tightly with eastern Indian tribal and Munda-associated references.
As a genetic reference, Birhor is useful for comparison with Ho, Korwa, Santhal India, Bhunjia Chhattisgarh, Dhurwa Odisha, Santhal Bangladesh, Bhumij, Mawasi Chhattisgarh, Savara, and Asur.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Birhor is Ho Odisha. Other nearby references include Korwa, Ho Madhya Pradesh, Ho Bihar, and Bhumij Jharkhand. This gives the Birhor profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Birhor ancestry is best interpreted as eastern Indian Adivasi and Munda-associated, close to Ho, Korwa, Santhal, Bhunjia, Dhurwa, Bhumij, Mawasi, Savara, and Asur references.
The heatmap should emphasize Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Santhal and Ho regions, Korwa and Dhurwa areas, and eastern Indian Munda/Adivasi zones.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Ho Odisha. Other nearby references include Korwa, Ho Madhya Pradesh, Ho Bihar, and Bhumij Jharkhand.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Ho Odisha is the closest listed match to the Birhor average after removing Birhor itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Birhor G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
