A focused population profile of Mah Meri, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Mah Meri is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Mah Meri 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 Mah Meri.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Mah Meri is Temuan. Other nearby references include Jakun, Temiar, Nicobarese, and Cheq Wong. This gives the Mah Meri profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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