A focused population profile of Luo Kenya, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Luo Kenya is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Luo Kenya 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 Luo Kenya.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Luo Kenya is Luhya. Other nearby references include Wasambaa, Wabondei, Mzigua, and Mijikenda Giriama. This gives the Luo Kenya profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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