Abstract: | Genetic, anthropological and medical data are shown to support the conclusion that subgroup studies of Black admixture within a mixed population are feasible, even if to some extent subjective. Thus, the use of subgroup racial classification for studies within mixed populations can be defended as the only choice to avoid excessive heterogeneity. |
