A focused population profile of Damara, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Damara is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Damara 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 Damara.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Damara is Zulu (low res). Other nearby references include Pedi (low res), Xhosa, Herero Namibia, and South African Bantu. This gives the Damara profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Damara 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 Damara profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Damara average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Zulu (low res). Other nearby references include Pedi (low res), Xhosa, Herero Namibia, and South African Bantu.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Zulu (low res) is the closest listed match to the Damara average after removing Damara itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Damara G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
