A focused population profile of Cape Verdean, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Cape Verdean is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Cape Verdean with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Cape Verdean.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Cape Verdean is Dominican. Other nearby references include Afro-Martinican, Tunisian Arab Douz (Intermediate Shwashin Profile), Afro-Puerto Rican, and Berber Algeria Mozabite (Intermediate Hartani Profile). This gives the Cape Verdean profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Cape Verdean 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 Cape Verdean profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Cape Verdean average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Dominican. Other nearby references include Afro-Martinican, Tunisian Arab Douz (Intermediate Shwashin Profile), Afro-Puerto Rican, and Berber Algeria Mozabite (Intermediate Hartani Profile).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Dominican is the closest listed match to the Cape Verdean average after removing Cape Verdean itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Cape Verdean G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
