A focused population profile of Masai Kenya, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Masai Kenya is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Masai 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 Masai Kenya.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Masai Kenya is Ogiek Kenya. Other nearby references include Tutsi, Tutsi Burundi, Elmolo, and Sengwer. This gives the Masai 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 Masai 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 Masai Kenya profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Masai Kenya average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Ogiek Kenya. Other nearby references include Tutsi, Tutsi Burundi, Elmolo, and Sengwer.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Ogiek Kenya is the closest listed match to the Masai Kenya average after removing Masai Kenya itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Masai Kenya G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
