A focused population profile of Sengwer, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Sengwer is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Sengwer 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 Sengwer.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Sengwer is Masai Kenya. Other nearby references include Daju Sudan, Mursi, Baggara Messiria Sudan, and Gumuz Ethiopia. This gives the Sengwer profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Sengwer 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 Sengwer profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Sengwer average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Masai Kenya. Other nearby references include Daju Sudan, Mursi, Baggara Messiria Sudan, and Gumuz Ethiopia.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Masai Kenya is the closest listed match to the Sengwer average after removing Sengwer itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Sengwer G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
