Problems and methods in the genetics of primitive groups

Primitive populations seem favorable for studies of genetic structure, especially of isolation by distance in an array of subpopulations. Recent developments in this field are discussed, using pairs of phenotypes, inbreeding coefficients in pedigrees, isonymy, gene frequencies, and even anthropometrics. Of methods to study selection, only specific disease associations appear applicable to primitive populations. Inbreeding and outcrossing effects demand greater precision than has yet been attained in primitive groups. Some of the stated objectives of international biological programs lie far beyond the scope of present methodology
