🇪🇸 Genetic Landscape of Spain

Spain's genetic identity was shaped by Iberian, Celtic, Roman, Visigothic, and crucially, Moorish (North African/Arab) heritage across 800 years of Al-Andalus. This creates a population that straddles Mediterranean and Atlantic genetic profiles. The Basque Country stands out with the highest Rh-negative blood frequency in the world and a language unrelated to any other. Galicia in the northwest has Celtic roots, while Andalusia in the south shows stronger Moorish genetic influence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average height in Spain?

Men in Spain average about 174 cm (5'9") and women about 162 cm (5'4"). Anyone above 183 cm (men) or 170 cm (women) is in roughly the tallest 10% of the country.

How is rarity calculated in Spain?

Each trait's local frequency is multiplied together. Because Spain's distributions differ from world averages, the same person can score very differently here than globally.

Is my rarity in Spain different from my global rarity?

Usually, yes. Traits that are rare worldwide can be common locally — and the reverse. Run the global calculator and compare it with the numbers on this page.
