Global Patterns of Linkage Disequilibrium at the CD4 Locus and Modern Human Origins
Haplotypes consisting of alleles at a short tandem repeat polymorphism (STRP) and an Alu deletion polymorphism at the CD4 locus on chromosome 12 were analyzed in more than 1600 individuals sampled from 42 geographically dispersed populations (13 African, 2 Middle Eastern, 7 European, 9 Asian, 3 Pacific, and 8 Amerindian). Sub-Saharan African populations had more haplotypes and exhibited more variability in frequencies of haplotypes than the North…
A New Era of Flexibility? Some Evidence and Problems from the Petrochemicals Industry
The debate over the notion of 'flexibility' has centred around evidence from a small number of industrial sectors. In this paper, the petrochemicals industry is examined for evidence of a shift towards flexibility. It is concluded that there is evidence of both a move towards flexible production and organisation and a move towards the retention of commodity production. In so doing, three problems in the flexibility argument are dealt with; the br…

Serogenetic studies on the inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha
The inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha, a remote island in the South Atlantic, number about 300 and are direct descendants of a small number of individuals who settled there in the first half of the nineteenth century. Some serogenetic studies were carried out on the islanders when they were evacuated to England in 1961 but 160 individuals have now been tested for a much wider range of gene markers. No variation was found at 15 loci while considerab…
Serogenetic studies on the Daga of the interior of the mainland of Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea
The Daga people of Milne Bay, the easternmost Province of Papua New Guinea, occupy an upland area but do extend to the coast. Linguistically they are Papuan and, unlike their Austronesian-speaking neighbours, they appear originally to have been an exclusively inland people. They have been in contact with missionaries and miners since the turn of the century, and genetic evidence of Caucasoid gene flow may be present in the finding of several lact…
Sero-genetic studies on the Basters of Rehoboth, South West Africa/Namibia
The Basters of Rehoboth in South West Africa/Namibia arose by hybridization between Caucasoids and Khoi (‘Hottentots’) in the northern Cape Province of South Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, followed by migration of a single well-defined party to Rehoboth and the consolidation of an ethnocentric nation there. Although there has been some gene flow into the population during the twentieth century, the present sero-genetic stu…
Persistent high intestinal lactase activity in Papua New Guinea. Lactose absorption curves in two populations
Thirty adolescent males, aged 16-19 years, all of Huli, Mendi or Dunai descent, sampled at Tari in Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, and 29 children aged between 9 and 15 years, all speakers of Daga and sampled at Agaun in the Milne Bay Province, have been tested for persistent high intestinal lactase activity. Three persons at Tari and five at Agaun were found to be lactose absorbers. There is reasonably convincing evidence that all five a…
The Njinga of Angola
The Njinga, a matrilineal kiMbundu-speaking Negro people of northern Angola, inhabited the coast near Luanda during the sixteenth century, and were driven inland by Portuguese expansion subsequently. There is no evidence from the present sterogenetic study that they have received any appreciable contribution of Caucasoid genes. Nor is there any evidence of San ('Bushman') admixture apart from a moderate frequency of Gm; their genetic profile and …
