title: Morphological distance between Rastogis and certain other caste groups of Uttar Pradesh, India.
abstract: 150 male Rastogis from Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) have been investigated anthropometrically. The results are compared with those obtained in some other population samples from Uttar Pradesh. The T2 test showed that Rastogis are nearest to Pasis and at the largest distance from Brahmin and Chattri. This is in conformity with the results of blood group analysis. The possible reasons for these morphological distance differences are discussed.
