A focused population profile of Lahu, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Lahu is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Lahu 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 Lahu.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Lahu is Wa. Other nearby references include Gelao Guangxi Longlin, Kinh, Lawa, and Karen S'gaw Thailand. This gives the Lahu profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Lahu 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 Lahu profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Lahu average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Wa. Other nearby references include Gelao Guangxi Longlin, Kinh, Lawa, and Karen S'gaw Thailand.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Wa is the closest listed match to the Lahu average after removing Lahu itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Lahu G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
