A focused population profile of Nuba, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Nuba is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Nuba 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 Nuba.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Nuba is Nuba Koalib. Other nearby references include Daju Nyala (Gemar), Shilluk, Nuer, and Maba. This gives the Nuba profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Nuba 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 Nuba profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Nuba average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Nuba Koalib. Other nearby references include Daju Nyala (Gemar), Shilluk, Nuer, and Maba.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Nuba Koalib is the closest listed match to the Nuba average after removing Nuba itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Nuba G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
