A focused population profile of Karelian, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Karelian is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Karelian 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 Karelian.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Karelian is Karelian Northern. Other nearby references include Vepsian, Karelian Southern, Karelian Southwest (Livvi), and Karelian Southeast (Ludic). This gives the Karelian profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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