Abstract
Studies of A1A2BO, MN and Rh (tests with 4 sera) blood groups of 384 Negroid and 220 Whites from the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, are presented, representing the first investigation of blood groups MN and Rh (at this level of testing) to be presented from Brazilian Negro and White groups. On the basis of these and previous results the accumulated White admixture in this Negro population is calculated to be 47-54% and the average gene flow per generation 0.051-0.064. These values agree in a general way with previous estimates from other Southern Brazilian groups and are higher than those calculated for U. S. Negroes.Keywords
