Who are MÄori?
MÄori is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare MÄori 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 MÄori.
What is MÄori DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for MÄori is Hawaiian. Other nearby references include Kambera Wunga, Kambera Rindi, Anakalangu, and Tahitian. This gives the MÄori profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
