Sažetak
The anthropogenetic structure of six island/peninsular populations
- Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Pelješac, Silba and Olib - of the
Eastern Adriatic, Croatia, is analyzed on the basis of the study of
four different erythrocyte antigen systems/groups and two
erythrocyte isoenzyme systems. Average sample size was 555
individuals. Allele frequencies and genetic distances values were
computed. The obtained results point to the fact that all of the
populations in question have preserved their separate characteristics
in the course of their (micro) evolution to the present day,
which is especially noticeable for the island populations of Korčula
and Olib, as these populations distinguish themselves from the
other studied populations with a greater degree of isolation. The
today's genetic structure of the studied populations can be
explained through the existing historical and cultural data for the
region in question, which in.dicate that they were all, in the course
of their ethno-history, influenced by waves of immigration and
selective emigrations that must have greatly shaped their
present-day population structure.
