A focused population profile of Garifuna Belize, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Garifuna Belize is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Garifuna Belize 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 Garifuna Belize.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Garifuna Belize is Afro-Brazilian. Other nearby references include Ovambo Angola, Fulani Guinea (SSA Profile), Afro-Barbadian, and Fulani Gambia (SSA Profile). This gives the Garifuna Belize profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Garifuna Belize 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 Garifuna Belize profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Garifuna Belize average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Afro-Brazilian. Other nearby references include Ovambo Angola, Fulani Guinea (SSA Profile), Afro-Barbadian, and Fulani Gambia (SSA Profile).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Afro-Brazilian is the closest listed match to the Garifuna Belize average after removing Garifuna Belize itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Garifuna Belize G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
