A focused population profile of Andalusians from southern Spain, their Iberian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Andalusians are the people of Andalusia in southern Spain, a region including Seville, Cordoba, Granada, Malaga, Cadiz, Huelva, Jaen, and Almeria. Andalusia sits between the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, central Iberia, and North Africa, which gives it a distinctive place in Iberian history.
Spanish is the main language, with Andalusian Spanish varieties known for their own pronunciation and regional speech patterns. The region has been shaped by Roman, Visigothic, Islamic Andalusi, Castilian, Mediterranean, Atlantic, and local Iberian histories.
As a genetic reference, Spanish Andalusia should be read as a southern Iberian profile. It is especially useful for comparing Andalusian results with Portuguese, Murcian, Castilian, Galician, Extremaduran, Valencian, and other Iberian references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Spanish Andalusia (Andalusian) is Portuguese. Other nearby references include Spanish Castilla-La Mancha (Castilian), Spanish Murcia (Murcian), Spanish Galicia (Galician), and Spanish Extremadura (Extremaduran). This gives the Spanish Andalusia (Andalusian) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry model gives deeper component proportions, while the closest-match table shows modern similarity. Andalusian DNA in this dataset is best interpreted as southern Iberian, connected to both western Iberia and other Spanish regional averages.
The heatmap should emphasize southern and western Iberia, especially Andalusia, Portugal, Murcia, Castile, Galicia, Extremadura, and nearby Iberian regions.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Portuguese. Other nearby references include Spanish Castilla-La Mancha (Castilian), Spanish Murcia (Murcian), Spanish Galicia (Galician), and Spanish Extremadura (Extremaduran).
In the current modern G25 reference set, Portuguese is the closest listed match to the Spanish Andalusia (Andalusian) average after removing Spanish Andalusia (Andalusian) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Spanish Andalusia (Andalusian) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
