A focused population profile of Eritrean, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Eritrean is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Eritrean 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 Eritrean.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Eritrean is Tigray Ethiopia. Other nearby references include Tigrinya Eritrea, Saho Eritrea, Afar Ethiopia, and Beja Hadendowa. This gives the Eritrean profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Eritrean 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 Eritrean profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Eritrean average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Tigray Ethiopia. Other nearby references include Tigrinya Eritrea, Saho Eritrea, Afar Ethiopia, and Beja Hadendowa.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Tigray Ethiopia is the closest listed match to the Eritrean average after removing Eritrean itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Eritrean G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
