Abstract
Blood types were obtained from 196 individuals representing four tribal groups: the Onges (34), Jarawas (4), Andamanese (22) of the Andaman Islands, and the Nicobarese (136). No sampling techniques seem to have been used, and except for the Jarawa cases (all siblings), no genealogical data are provided. Comparative data are included from earlier sources on these tribes and from other Oceanic and Southeast Asian peoples, and the author draws some historical inferences concerning racial affiliations and population migrations and mixtures.
