“…Lewis) they appear quite distinct from the south Indian level [Roberts et al, 1972b]. Detailed comparison of Ceylon samples shows that Sinhalese are conspicuously different from Tamil, significantly so in the ABO and MNS blood groups.…”

Phenotype frequencies and gene frequencies of haptoglobins and haemoglobins were assessed in Sinhalese and Punjabis, two quite different populations of the Indian subcontinent. A clinical component, a latitudinal gradient, may be discerned in the great range of Hp¹ gene frequencies that occurs in India. Haptoglobin and heamoglobin gene frequencies are compatible with but do not give clear proof of a more northerly origin of the Sinhalese.

Using gene frequency data for 18 protein and blood group loci, we studied the genetic relationships of four Indian subcontinent populations (peoples from Punjab, Gujarati, Andhra Pradesh, and Bangladesh) with their neighboring populations (Iranians, Afghans, Sinhalese in Sri Lanka, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Malays, Bataks in northern Sumatra, and Chinese). The results obtained indicate that the four Indian subcontinent populations and the Sinhalese are genetically closer to Iranians and Afghans (Caucasoid) than to the other neighboring Mongoloid populations. Genetic distance analysis shows a clear-cut dichotomy between the Caucasoid and Mongoloid populations.
