A focused population profile of Dogon, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Dogon is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Dogon 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 Dogon.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Dogon is Bambara Mali. Other nearby references include Malinke Mali, Mossi, Frafra Nankam, and Kassena Ghana. This gives the Dogon profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Dogon 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 Dogon profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Dogon average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Bambara Mali. Other nearby references include Malinke Mali, Mossi, Frafra Nankam, and Kassena Ghana.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Bambara Mali is the closest listed match to the Dogon average after removing Dogon itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Dogon G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
