Y-chromosome specific alleles and haplotypes in European and Asian populations
Variation on the Y chromosome may permit our understanding the evolution of the human paternal lineage and male gene flow. This study reports upon the distribution and non random association of alleles at four Y-chromosome specific loci in four populations, three Caucasoid (Italian, Greek and Slav) and one Asian. The markers include insertion/deletion (p12f), point mutation (92R7 and pY alpha I), and repeat sequence (p21A1) polymorphisms. Our dat…
Y‐chromosome‐specific restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs)
Y-chromosome-specific restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs)
The human Y chromosome comprises two distinct parts: the pseudoautosomal region on the tip of the short arm that pairs with the X chromosome in male meiosis and undergoes recombination, and the remainder of the chromosome, which is male-specific and not involved in recombination. It is this haploid part of the Y chromosome, with its accumulation of mutations, that is of interest to human biologists because the variation within it potentially refl…
Mating structure, isonymy and social class in late nineteenth century Tasmania
This study analysed all marriages (N = 4258) registered in the island State of Tasmania during the period 1896-1899 for mating structure, using marital isonymy. We found that irrespective of the geographic size of the subdivisions the random component (Fr) values were similar. This is because there was a high proportion of unique names despite the large population size. Fn values were sensitive to geographic distance only with respect to the 'unr…

Family size and social class in nineteenth century Tasmania, Australia
Data on fertility in a white Australian population based upon the vital records of the nineteenth century for two districts in Tasmania are presented. Mean family size was apparently low (3·2) and reproductive period short. However, when allowance was made for the truncation of birth records of migrant families, family size increased (4·9) markedly. Social class is shown to have a consistent effect on fertility levels in the larger community with…
Historical population structure of two Tasmanian communities using surname analyses
This paper reports the first data on historical population structure in white Australians. Vital records and census data from two Tasmanian registration districts, Oatlands and Bothwell, were examined using surname analysis to investigate population structure in the nineteenth century. Both were colonising populations and therefore initially had massive immigration and a very high sex ratio. Inbreeding, as measured by marital isonymy, was relativ…
Genetic studies of the population of the Isle of Man
A sample of the Isle of Man population was tested for the following red cell antigens, serum proteins and red cell enzymes: ABH; MNSs He; Cc CwD Du Ee Ce; K k Kpa Kpb; Lua; P1; Fya Fyb; haptoglobin; transferrin; Ag; acid phosphatase; phosphoglucomutase; adenylate kinase; esterase D; adenosine deaminase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase. The study comprised 219 blood donors, 338 secondary school children and 116 females attending the only anten…
Genetic structure in Cumbria
Genetic structure of the Cumbrian population is examined from data on gene and genotype frequency distributions, on geographical location, and on population movement in two generations. The population is genetically heterogeneous; the central Lake District particularly, and also Carlisle and the southern periphery, stand out as distinct from the remainder and from each other. Regional subdivision of the population is sufficient to lead to some in…
Genetic variation in Cumbrians
Regional variation in the genetic constitution of the Cumbrian population is demonstrated in a survey of blood groups, red cell enzymes, and secretor status in a large sample of schoolchildren. In particular, the south and centre appear to be distinct from the remainder of Cumbria, but in different directions. The features of the central Lake District, tending towards gene frequencies observed in Norway, suggest that it may be a region in which t…

Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) taste sensitivity in selected populations of the Isle of Man and Cumbria
PTC taste thresholds were determined using a modification of the Harris and Kalmus sorting technique for 854 Cumbrian schoolchildren and 699 individuals from the Isle of Man. A non-taster frequency of 19·7 per cent was observed in the Cumbrian sample compared with a frequency of 27·8 per cent in that from the Isle of Man. Analysis of taste threshold distributions revealed significant variability, both within and between these two samples. Evidenc…
ABH secretion in populations of the British Isles
Saliva specimens were collected from 163 Manx and 994 Cumbrian individuals and tested for secretor group. The findings confirm the pattern of variability in non-secretor frequencies reported in populations of the British Isles. A possible explanation for this distribution of secretor groups is suggested. The Cumbrian sample is also examined for intra-regional heterogeneity

Antonio Loredan and the Jaffa Voyage
Antonio Loredan was the son of a Venetian patrician named Daniele and belonged to one of the most illustrious of Venetian families, so it was natural that he should apply for the captaincy of one of the galleys. When still a young man, in the spring of 1440, he and his cousin Lorenzo, together with Ser Andrea Gritti, were appointed captains of the three pilgrim galleys, and the following year when the licence for the autumn voyage was auctioned h…
English Student Life in Early Renaissance Italy
So wide a subject treated in so short an article must be confined within arbitrary limits; it is, therefore, the intention of this paper to draw mainly upon fifteenth-century sources and to limit its scope to the five universities of Bologna, Pavia, Padova, Ferrara, and Siena. In his admirable chapter on student life Hastings Rashdall declared his intention of confining his remarks to the northern universities; there is no point in repeating or e…

English Students at Ferrara in the Xv. Century
The Studio of Ferrara, from its inception in 1436 when Guarino da Verona accepted the chair of Rhetoric, attracted a comparatively large number of English students. More than a score of Englishmen are known to have studied there in the course of the century, some of them proceeding to a degree and others moving on to Bologna or Padua. No doubt many others stayed there for a time and left no record of their presence. Nothing would have been known …

English Students at Padua, 1460-75
Although Bologna was still the foremost studio in Italy, at least inthe study of law, Padua was by the mid-fifteenthcentury a strong rival, and foreign students were attractedthere and to Ferrara by the fame of Guarino da Verona. Indeed, the popularity of the studio of Ferrara was directlydue to the appointment of Guarino as the first Professor of Rhetoric there in 1436
