The genetic variability in Indian populations is examined on the basis of the study of Tf, Gc, Gm, and Km polymorphisms. This variability is not associated with fluctuations, but is related to population history (mainly to migrations, hybrydization and caste endogamy). When genetic distances are calculated, Northern, Southern and Western Indian poplations show closer resemblances to Western Asian populations, while Eastern Indian populations are more similar to Mongoloid peoples.
