The Tamang: a case of hybridization.
The Tamang, a Mongoloid and hybrid population of the eastern part of the cis-Himalayan region of West Bengal, have been studied for an estimation of the Tibetan and Nepalese components. The degree of admixture of the two parental stocks is found to be about 59 and 41%, respectively. The deviation between the observed and expected gene frequencies of the hybrid is insignificant.
