A focused population profile of Tahitian, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Tahitian is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Tahitian 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 Tahitian.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Tahitian is Samoan. Other nearby references include Hawaiian, Maori, Tongan, and Bajo. This gives the Tahitian profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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