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

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