Bioassay of Kinship in Populations of Middle Eastern Origin and Controls [and Comments and Replies]
Gene frequencies for 32 populations show 3 Jewish and 4 gentile clusters. From phenotype frequencies the estimate of inbreeding F is .0110 for populations in the Middle East and .0002 for other populations. Differentiation of populations in the region is small (F =.026) compared with that of the species as a whole (F =.146). Kinship between populations is appreciable within clusters but much less within the total Jewish and gentile groups (.004 a…
The Evolutionary Relationships of Two Populations: A Study of the Guaymi and the Yanomama [and Comments and Reply]
A multidisciplinary study of the Guaymi of western Panama was undertaken to confirm or disprove their apparent similarity to the Yanomama of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil, inferred from allele frequencies for six polymorphic loci studied in the Guaymi by Matson and colleagues in 1965. Gene frequencies were estimated from the present sample of 484, which is more than twice as large as the previous sample and appears to be completely indep…
Hybridity effect on mortality
Blood groups and haptoglobins in the Eastern Carolines
The ABO, MNS, Rh, and haptoglobin systems were examined in samples from the populations of Pingelap, Mokil, Ponape, and Kusaie. There is marked differentiation between neighboring islands
Bioassay of kinship in Micronesia
Phenotype bioassay agrees with clan isonymy, anthropometrics, and migration in estimating the mean kinship within a Micronesian population, relative to large distances, as 0.05. Various calculations of occupancy for the Eastern Carolines from ethnohistory, kinship, and glottochronology average around 1,000 years. Estimates of isolation by distance are in agreement for different indicators of population structure. Problems of kinship bioassay are …
Population structure of blood groups in Central and South American Indians
The phenotype bioassay has been applied to samples of Indians from 12 countries of Central and South America. Using five blood group systems, more than 7,000 tested individuals were studied. The mean coefficient of kinship for pairs from the same place (a) is about 0.025, which is considerably higher than has been found for industrialized populations. The decline of kinship with distance (b) is moderate (0.003), indicating substantial migration. …
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 …
