Abstract
The study of two homogeneous samples of rural populations originating from the French provinces of Poitou and Savoie (the size of the commune was less than 1000 inhabitants) has brought tangible evidence of a statural and debrachycephalization increase with increasing distance between parental birth places. It is shown that such modifications, which reproduce the phenotypic trends among present-day populations, must be considered as the result of a consanguinity decrease with distance, and thus of the progressive breakdown of isolates due to an increasing mobility of populations.
