title: Gene differentiation in three tribes of American Indians.
abstract: The amount of gene differentiation in the subdivided populations of three American Indian tribes, the Papago, Makiritare and Yanomama were studied and found to vary from 2 to 7%. These results indicate that only small fractions of the total gene differences are attributable to between subpopulations and the remaining 93-98% to within subpopulations.
