Current Developments in Anthropological Geneticshe current developments can be appraised. By anthropological genetics is meant the study of the genetic variation that occurs within and between human populations, its origin, and the factors and processes that maintain it. Professor Spuhler (1973), in his summing-up, echoed the feelings of all when

Voices of Our Ancestorsy two basic questions asked by geneticists: How was present genetic diversity produced? and What are the genetic mechanisms behind present human biological characteristics? Both of these questions can be answered at least superficially through the use of paleodemographic data.

We shall concern ourselves with studies whose purpose is to reveal this underlying structure, as well as to attempt to make some inference concerning the process that led to that structure.

Today, this alternative would be concerned with or based on some form of random genetic drift, but generally drift is used as a more sophisticated model to justify the old practice of taxonomy. Hence the old nonadaptive traits and survivals are now marker genes and neutral amino acid substitutions.
