Anthropological studies in Assam, India. 7. Socio-biological observations on Assamese populations.
Three population groups of Assam, viz., the Hindus, Muslims and Mongoloids have been investigated for certain bio-social variables, e.g., size and composition of family, sex distribution, menarcheal age, age at marriage, marriage distance, conception, pregnancy wastage and fertility. The results are discussed on comparative basis, and attempts are made to offer possible reasons for differences.
