Maya (Mestizo Profile) is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Maya (Mestizo Profile) 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 Maya.
What is Maya (Mestizo Profile) DNA closest to?
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Maya (Mestizo Profile) is Totonac (Mestizo Profile) (low res). Other nearby references include Mixtec (Mestizo Profile), Mexican (Amerind Profile), Quechua (Mestizo Profile), and Yanesha High Selva (Mestizo Profile). This gives the Maya (Mestizo Profile) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
