This volume considers the genetic variability of human populations,
particularly in the tropics: its origins and maintenance, and its
contribution to the phenotypic variability of complex characters.
The first section deals with the ways of analysing genetic
variation and provides a valuable review of relevant developments
in molecular biology. The origin and maintenance of genetic
diversity is considered in the second section with data presented
for Pacific, African, Asian and Central American populations. The
final section concerns characters in which the genetic contribution
to variability is complex and shows how such characters may be used
to elucidate biological problems of affinity and differentiation,
of adaptation and survival. Published as part of the Decade of the
Tropics research programme of the International Union of Biological
Sciences, this volume will be of particular interest to human
geneticists, physical and biological anthropologists.
