Abstract
The Tamang, a Mongoloid and hybrid population of the eastern part of the cis-Himalayan region of West Bengal, were studied for an estimation of the Tibetan and Nepalese components. The degree of admixture of the 2 parental stocks is about 59 and 41%, respectively. The deviation between the observed and expected gene frequencies of the hybrid is insignificant.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
