  • Title: A genetic survey in the Bhil tribe of Madhya Pradesh, Central India.
    Author: Papiha SS, Roberts DF, Mukerjee DP, Singh SD, Malhotra M.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1978 Aug; 49(2):179-85. PubMed ID: 717553.
    Abstract:
    Examination of blood groups, plasma proteins and red cell enzyme types (23 loci), in a sample of 145 Bhils, a tribal group of Madhya Pradesh, Central India, demonstrates their genetic uniqueness. They differ in a number of systems from the nearby nontribal groups both of Hindus and Muslims. The results suggest that the Bhil frequencies include vestiges of the ancestral genepool of a more widespread aboriginal population whose influence is detectable in the gene frequencies of some other populations in India.
