Genetic change in the polynesian population of Easter Island: evidence from Alu insertion polymorphisms.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Nov 2006

González-Pérez E, Esteban E, Via M, García-Moro C, Hernández M, Moral P

Abstract excerpt

The origin of Pacific islanders is still an open issue in human population genetics. To address this topic we analyzed a set of 18 Alu insertion polymorphisms in a total of 176 chromosomes from native Easter Island inhabitants (Rapanui). Available genealogical records allowed us to subdivide the total island sample into two groups, representative of the native population living in the island around 1900, and...
