Autochthonous human samples of the three westernmost islands of the Canarian Archipelago, La Palma, Gomera, and Hierro, have been analyzed for eight red cell polymorphic enzymes. Only a small intra and inter-insular differentiation exists among these three islands. However, a marked heterogeneity is found when all seven islands of the Archipelago are compared by Nei's genetic distances [1972]. Nevertheless, there...
