Abstract excerpt

The relationship between average heterozgosity and genetic distance estimates was evaluated among 13 Amazonian Indian tribes, using data of 24 genetic systems. The results showed that the genetic distances were negatively correlated with the average heterozygosity for each pair of tribes. The rel...
