    European and Near Eastern Regions:
    • Aegean: The Aegean Islands, Sardinia, Italian Peninsula, and Lower Danube River.

    Native American Regions:

    • Amazonian: Amazonian: Native cultures of the Amazon River Basin.
    • Andean: Peoples of the Western South America, including the territories of the historical Inca Empire.
    • Arctic: Native Alaskan (Inuit and Yupik) and Greenlandic populations.

    • Modern Populations of Mixed Native American Ancestry: The mixture of Native American ancestry with other ancestry (such as European or African) is expressed in match scores for Metis-Mestizo genetic grouping (not shown). This mixture is most typical of modern Latin America Mestizo (“mixed”) cultures that have emerged since the period of European Colonialism, but can also be found in English and French speaking (Metis) populations of North America.

    Sub-Saharan African Regions:

    • African Great Lakes: The Great Lakes region surrounding the Great Rift Valley in eastern Africa.
    • Horn of Africa: The eastern African lands along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden that face the Arabian Peninsula.
    • Sahelian: Populations near Lake Chad and the semi-arid Sahel, home to Sahelian societies that emerged along Trans-Saharan trade routes linking West Africa with the Mediterranean and Near East.
    • Southern African: Khoisan and Bantu speaking populations of Southern Africa.
    • Tropical West African: A large region including parts of West Africa facing the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Bantu speaking cultures of Southeastern Africa.

    Central and South Asian Regions:

    • Eastern India: The eastern Indian Subcontinent.
    • Indus Valley: The Northern Indian Subcontinent and Southern Central Asia, including homelands of the Bronze Age Indus Valley (Harappan) and Oxus (Bactria-Margiana) Civilizations.
    • Siberian: Indigenous cultures of Siberia, including Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic speaking populations living between the Altai Mountains and Lena River.
    • South India: The southern Indian Subcontinent, including the Dravidian speaking peoples of Tamil Nadu and many other cultures.

    East Asian Regions:

    • Japanese: The Japanese Archipelago.
    • Malay Archipelago: Island Southeast Asia, Thailand, and Cambodia.
    • Southeast Asian: Peoples of Southeast Asia, including peoples of Thailand, Vietnam, and neighboring countries, as well as ethnic groups of southern China.

    Pacific Regions:

    • Australian: Aboriginal peoples of Australia and Papua New Guinea.
