A focused population profile of Nivkh, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Nivkh is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Nivkh 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 Nivkh.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Nivkh is Ulchi. Other nearby references include Nanai, Negidal Orochi, Oroqen, and Evenk Khabarovsk. This gives the Nivkh profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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