Abstract

Differences between human populations are usually overestimated by our cultural attitude of dividing the world into a group of “us” and a remainder of “them”. However the reconstruction of the historical processes that have led to the present differentiation among individuals within populations, and among populations within our species, continues to be of intense interest not only for assessing the relative roles of different biological pressures on human evolution, but also for providing models and analogies to other, not necessarily biological, mechanisms of evolution.KeywordsDiscriminant FunctionGene FrequencyCanonical VariateAmerican NativeExtant PopulationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
