A focused population profile of Sandawe, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Sandawe is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Sandawe 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 Sandawe.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Sandawe is Kikuyu. Other nearby references include Hema (low res), Tutsi Rwanda, Hima, and Tutsi Burundi. This gives the Sandawe profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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