“…Since the pioneer work by Brown (1980), polymorphism of human mtDNA has attracted a great deal of attention of human population geneticists and anthropologists (Brown, 1980;Denaro et al, 1981;Blanc et al, 1983;Cann and Wilson, 1983;Johnson et al, 1983;Cann et al, 1984;Horai et al, 1984;Wallace et al, 1985;Horai and Matsunaga 1986).…”

Mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in Japanese living in Hokkaido

SummaryRestriction enzyme fragment patterns of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed using total DNAs from the blood cells of 122 Japanese (Ainu and Non-Ainu) living in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Polymorphisms were detected and the mtDNAs were classified into eleven types using four enzymes, AvaII, HincII, HpaI and PvuII. The distribution of the mtDNA morphs was not significantly different between the Ainu and the Non-Ainu samples, supporting the views that the Ainu are genetically one of the Mongoloid populations.

“…Thus, anthropological science must be synthetically as well as analytical because it studies man in his entirety. Genetic data have shown a surprisingly small amount of genetic variation, noted throughout all present human populations (e.g., Denaro et al 1981;Hammer et al, 1995;Knight et al, 1996). These important genetic data support strongly the "single origin" model adding that this single origin was relatively recent.…”

Compatibility of the holy Qur'an with sciences: anthropological concepts as an example

-In holy Qur'an countless verses are related to topics on the nature and the universe. In this report I try to show how these verses carry scientific concepts taking as examples some of those relating to anthropological sciences. In one of these verses God "Allah", speaking to scientists, presents signs to what we designate currently the coupled Cultural and Biological Anthropology using eloquent terms which represent a distinct abridgement "…..variations of your languages and your colors….". In another verse "…, Roam the earth and find out the origin of life…" Allah urges us to roam the earth looking for the origin of life. This is possible by the research then the analysis of remains and fossils hidden in the earth. Thus Allah has encouraged us since more than 14 centuries; to study the past of beings included that of humans and, therefore to found the two other anthropological specialities: the Archaeology and the Paleoanthropology. In other verses Allah designates other important anthropological concepts compatible with the most recent scientific conclusions as that relating to our unique and recent origin or that concerned our genus definition. The latter is presented in a dazzling abridgment coupled at the height of the accuracy in the verse: "We have created Homo in the best elegant and upright form". Key word:The holy Qur'an, Major specialities of Anthropology, Modern human origin, Human genus, Modern human species.

A multivariate analysis of four prehistoric and nine historic populations from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands with large sample sizes (n > 30 individuals for the neurocranium and n > 15 for the facial skeleton) is presented, considering 874 male and 557 female skulls and using 20 craniometric measurements. Cluster analyses have been undertaken using the squared Euclidean distance as a measure of proximity and the average linkage between groups (UPGMA), and neighbor-joining algorithms as a branching method, and a bootstrap analysis was used to assess the robustness of the clustering topology. The study was complemented with a principal coordinate analysis and with the application of the Mantel test to measure the degree of correspondence between the information furnished by the female and the male samples. The analyses show that the main source of morphometric variability in the Iberian Peninsula is the Basque population. The second source of variation is provided by two populations (Muslims and Jews), different from the rest from an archaeological and cultural point of view, and can probably be attributed to influences from sub-Saharan Africa. The massive deportations of the Jews in 1492 and of the Moors between the 15th and 17th centuries may have erased this source of variability from the present population of the Iberian Peninsula. The remaining studied populations, including samples from Castile, Cantabria, Andalusia, Catalonia and Balearic Islands, are grouped together, showing a notable morphological homogeneity, despite their temporal and geographic heterogeneity. These results are in general agreement with those obtained in synthetic maps, by analyzing multiple genetic markers. In such studies, the Basque population is described as the main source of genetic variability, not only in the Iberian Peninsula, but also in Western Europe.
