Hadza1 23andme format Bar13+End08

The Hadza are one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer societies in the world, living around Lake Eyasi in northern Tanzania. They are not known to have been part of any kingdoms, empires, or state-level societies; instead, they have maintained an independent lifestyle for tens of thousands of years. Historically, the Hadza had no chiefs, kings, or formal leaders—their society is strongly egalitarian.

Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests the Hadza descend from extremely ancient East African populations, potentially preserving cultural and linguistic features from some of the earliest human societies. Their way of life persisted largely because they lived in harsh, marginal environments that agricultural groups found difficult to settle.

Physically, the Hadza tend to be slim and lightly built, reflecting a high-activity hunter-gatherer lifestyle and a diet based on game, tubers, baobab fruit, and seasonal honey. Their average height is generally around 5 feet 3 for men and slightly shorter for women, though individuals vary widely. Studies show that Hadza adults typically have low body fat percentages, high endurance, and physical leanness due to daily walking, climbing, hunting, and foraging.

For this video, I gathered the raw genomes of 2 Hadza men from the Reichlab aadr v62 plus H.O. dataset. I used multiple tools to analyze their genetics, including Admixtools 1, Trait Predictor, Betacalc, and mageplot.
