Kin-structured migration: causes and consequences.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Fix Alan G

Abstract excerpt

Migration among local populations classically has been seen as the principal process retarding genetic microdifferentiation. However, as Sewall Wright pointed out long ago, migration may also act as a random differentiating force. In fact, when migrants comprise a biological kin group, migration may be considered a component of genetic drift. The causes of kin-structured migration (KSM) lie in the common, if not...
