  • Title: Genetic variation in Bougainville and Solomon Islands populations.
    Author: Lai LY, Bloom J.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1982 Aug; 58(4):369-82. PubMed ID: 6812432.
    Abstract:
    This paper reports the findings of genetic variation in eight populations of the Solomon Islands. Blood specimens collected from 345 Aita, 191 Nasioi and 416 Nagovisi of Bougainville, 379 Lau, 453 Baegu and 385 Kwaio of Malaita, and 504 Ontong Java, and 328 Ulawa subjects were tested for A-B-O, M-N-S-s, Rh, Hp, Tf, secretor, and red-cell acid phosphatase systems. Considerable differences were found among the eight populations with respect to all polymorphic systems studied. It was not possible to distinguish Austronesian groups from non-Austronesian groups on the basis of gene frequencies.
