A focused population profile of Samoan (SSA-Mixed), with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Samoan (SSA-Mixed) is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Samoan (SSA-Mixed) 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 Samoan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Samoan (SSA-Mixed) is Marquesan Tahuata (East Asian-Mixed). Other nearby references include Marquesan Hiva Oa (European+East Asian-Mixed), Marquesan Nuku Hiva (East Asian-Mixed), Samoan, and Tahitian. This gives the Samoan (SSA-Mixed) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Samoan (SSA-Mixed) 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 Samoan (SSA-Mixed) profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Samoan (SSA-Mixed) average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Marquesan Tahuata (East Asian-Mixed). Other nearby references include Marquesan Hiva Oa (European+East Asian-Mixed), Marquesan Nuku Hiva (East Asian-Mixed), Samoan, and Tahitian.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Marquesan Tahuata (East Asian-Mixed) is the closest listed match to the Samoan (SSA-Mixed) average after removing Samoan (SSA-Mixed) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Samoan (SSA-Mixed) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
