A focused population profile of Maya Tzotzil, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Maya Tzotzil is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Maya Tzotzil 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 Tzotzil.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Maya Tzotzil is Mixe. Other nearby references include Panamanian (Amerind Profile), Bolivian La Paz, Maya, and Quechua Peru. This gives the Maya Tzotzil profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Maya Tzotzil 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 Maya Tzotzil profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Maya Tzotzil average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Mixe. Other nearby references include Panamanian (Amerind Profile), Bolivian La Paz, Maya, and Quechua Peru.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Mixe is the closest listed match to the Maya Tzotzil average after removing Maya Tzotzil itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Maya Tzotzil G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
