Quantitative dermatoglyphics and population structure in Northwest India
The nature and extent of dermatoglyphic variation in northwest India is examined with the help of 28 quantitative variables-20 finger ridge counts and 8 palmar pattern ridge counts-among 12 endogamous populations. These populations represent the entire spectrum of ethnic and socioeconomic variation of the region and are presently distributed in three different states-Rajasthan, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh. Of a total sample of 1,160 adult males,…

Social, Geographic, Linguistic and Temporal Changes in Consanguinity Among Sixteen Tribes of Central India
The paper reports on the social, geographical, linguistic and temporal change in consanguinity among 3232 married couples belonging to 16 tribes of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The inter-tribe variation in total consanguineous marriages it strikingly large (range 0.45 to 46.5%; series average 22.86%). The matrilateral cross-cousin marriages are most preferred (14.2%) followed by pa trilateral (7.52%) and uncle-between (1.14%). The coef…

Genetic differentiation among four groups of fishermen of the Eastern coast, India
The four endogamous groups of fishermen living around the city of Puri, located on the eastern coast of India, were studied for blood groups, red cell enzymes and serum proteins (11 loci). Only 1.3% of the total diversity among the groups studied is due to differences between them (GST = 0.013). The genetic distances between populations were estimated using Edwards and Cavalli-Sforza's method. The pattern of genetic distance reflects the geograph…
Opportunity for natural selection with special reference to population structural measures among the Vadde
Crow's indices of opportunity for natural selection have been studied among the Vadde, a fishing community of Kolleru Lake, Andhra Pradesh, India. The sample comes from 15 of the 60 fishing villages. The indices were computed both at the level of village and population units. A village sample of Palle, another fishing group in the area, has also been analysed for the purpose of comparison. An attempt has been made to explain variation in selectio…
Distribution of Gm and Km allotypes among ten populations of Assam, India
Serum samples from ten endogamous populations of Assam, India–Brahmins, Kalitas, Kaibartas, Muslims, Ahoms, Karbis, Kacharis, Sonowals, Chutiyas, and Rajbanshis–were typed for G1m (1, 2, 3, 17), G3m (5, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 26), and Km (1). Among Brahmins, Kalitas, Kaibartas, Muslims, Ahoms, Sonowals, Chutiyas, and Rajbanshis, five different Gm haplotypes were found: Gm1,17;21,26; Gm1,17;10,11,13,15,16; Gm1,2,17;21,26; Gm1,3;5,10,11,13,14,…
Diversity in palmar pattern ridge counts among 12 Iranian populations
Bilateral palmar prints of 604 male individuals from 12 Iranian groups, six Mongoloid and six Caucasoid, have been analyzed for palmar pattern ridge counts (PPRC). Highly significant variation has been observed in the size of the palmar patterns in all the configurational areas among the Iranian groups. The distance analysis based on PPRCs differentiated the Iranian Mongoloid from the Iranian Caucasoid groups into distinct clusters. The pattern o…

Variations on dermal ridges in nine population groups of maharashtra, india. III. Asymmetry and interdigital diversity
Variations in asymmetry and interdigital diversity for the three finger‐dermatoglyphic traits, total finger ridge count (TRC), absolute total finger ridge count (ARC), and finger pattern intensity index (PII) have been studied here from a sample of 646 males belonging to nine population groups from Maharashtra, India. It is seen that at such local level of population differentiation the ridge count measures TRC and ARC discriminate the population…
Variations in asymmetry and interdigital diversity for three ridge-count measures among the Dhangar caste-cluster of Maharashtra, India
Variation in allele frequencies among caste groups of the Dhangars of Maharashtra, India
Variations in allelle frequencies at 11 serological and biochemical loci among 21 endogamous Dhangar castes of Maharashtra, India, have been studied using Wright's FST statistic. Gene differentiation among these castes is only about 4 per cent at these polymorphic loci. The distributional form of FST is explicable by random genetic drift at this early stage of differentiation of these caste groups. The empirical relationship between the average a…
