A focused population profile of Moken, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Moken is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Moken 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 Moken.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Moken is Thai. Other nearby references include Malay Malaysia, Khmer Cambodia, Nyah Kur, and Seletar. This gives the Moken profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Moken 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 Moken profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Moken average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Thai. Other nearby references include Malay Malaysia, Khmer Cambodia, Nyah Kur, and Seletar.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Thai is the closest listed match to the Moken average after removing Moken itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Moken G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
