✦ Synopsis

Nonmetric traits of Hawaiian and Chamorro skulls were examined for evidence bearing on their populational affinities. Distance analyses reveal that the Hawaiian and Chamorro people, although not very near each other, are both closer to the East Asian than to the Jomon-Ainu or to the Arctic peoples. Our study of nonmetric cranial variation does not suggest an

The introduction of molecular genetic techniques to survey DNA variation directly has greatly advanced the study of inter- and intra-population variability. One of the first DNA polymorphisms to be surveyed for population variation was the Ξ±-globin copy number variants in Melanesia, and this study i
