A focused population profile of Samaritan, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Samaritan is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Samaritan 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 Samaritan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Samaritan is Jordanian Arab Christian. Other nearby references include Palestinian Arab Christian, Karaite Jew Iraq, Lebanese Arab Christian Greek Orthodox Zgharta, and Syrian Arab Christian Greek Orthodox. This gives the Samaritan profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Samaritan 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 Samaritan profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Samaritan average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Jordanian Arab Christian. Other nearby references include Palestinian Arab Christian, Karaite Jew Iraq, Lebanese Arab Christian Greek Orthodox Zgharta, and Syrian Arab Christian Greek Orthodox.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Jordanian Arab Christian is the closest listed match to the Samaritan average after removing Samaritan itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Samaritan G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
