A focused population profile of Shilluk, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Shilluk is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Shilluk 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 Shilluk.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Shilluk is Dinka. Other nearby references include South Sudanese, Anuak Ethiopia, Nuer, and Bari. This gives the Shilluk profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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