Abstract
AbstractThe technique of population structure analysis is described and then applied to blood polymorphic, anthropometric, and demographic data collected from residents of south‐central Bougainville Island, Territory of New Guinea. The results from these various analyses are relatively consistent, and support the idea that this theoretical model can be applied successfully to real sets of biological data and that valid conclusions concerning the breeding structure of human populations can be reached. A comparison of breeding structures from various parts of the world reveals how sharply subdivided the breeding structure in Melanesia is, and how relatively rapidly the coefficient of kinship declines over distance in that area.
