Who are Mapuche?

Mapuche is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Mapuche 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 Mapuche.

What is Mapuche DNA closest to?

In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Mapuche is Amerindian Mexico. Other nearby references include Amerindian Ecuador, Maya, Quechua Peru, and Cachi. This gives the Mapuche profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

What does Mapuche ancestry look like?

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Mapuche 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.

Where is Mapuche DNA closest on the map?

The heatmap gives the Mapuche profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Mapuche average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
