A focused population profile of Kalash, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Kalash is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Kalash 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 Kalash.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Kalash is Dameli. Other nearby references include Nuristani, Pashtun Khattak, Pashtun Northeast Afghanistan, and Pashtun Uthmankhel. This gives the Kalash profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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