A focused population profile of Hausa, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Hausa is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Hausa 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 Hausa.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Hausa is Soninke Gambia. Other nearby references include Mandinka Gambia, Wolof Gambia, Serer Gambia, and Laka. This gives the Hausa profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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