A focused population profile of San, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
San is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare San 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 San.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for San is Xun. Other nearby references include Khomani San, Ju/'hoansi, Nama, and Hai||om. This gives the San 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 San 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 San profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the San average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Xun. Other nearby references include Khomani San, Ju/'hoansi, Nama, and Hai||om.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Xun is the closest listed match to the San average after removing San itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the San G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
