A focused population profile of Ryukyuan, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Ryukyuan is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Ryukyuan 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 Ryukyuan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Ryukyuan is Han Shanxi Xinzhou. Other nearby references include Japanese-Brazilian, Han Shanxi Shuozhou, Korean Jeju Island, and Baima. This gives the Ryukyuan profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Ryukyuan 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 Ryukyuan profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Ryukyuan average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Han Shanxi Xinzhou. Other nearby references include Japanese-Brazilian, Han Shanxi Shuozhou, Korean Jeju Island, and Baima.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Han Shanxi Xinzhou is the closest listed match to the Ryukyuan average after removing Ryukyuan itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Ryukyuan G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
