AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article, based on field work done in 1954, presents the results of an attempt 'to apply modern population genetics to human breeding groups, and demonstrate certain aspects of the micro-evolutionary process in these groups' (p. 107). Kraus and White analyze the population genetics and marriage patterns of the Western Apache of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Observations are made about Apache interband marriage relationships and affinities with other Indian populations in terms of blood type proportions and gene frequencies.
