Anthropometric measurements (head length, head breadth, bizygomatic diameter, minimum frontal diameter, head circumference, and stature) for 526 adult Jirels are utilized to establish the pattern of phenotypic relationships between seven villages in eastern Nepal. An analytical framework is provided that justifies the interpretation of biological distances as minimum genetic distances. Using this approach, estimates of the minimum pairwise genetic distances between villages and the minimum FST for the population are derived from the purely phenotypic data. The FST obtained in this way is consistent with results obtained from other data available for this population, confirming the utility of phenetic analysis of quantitative traits for elucidating genetic structure.
对526名成年吉雷尔人的人体测量数据（头长、头宽、颧距、最小额径、头围和身高）进行分析，以确定尼泊尔东部七个村庄之间的表型关系模式。提供了一个分析框架，证明将生物距离解释为最小遗传距离的合理性。通过这种方法，从纯表型数据中得出了村庄之间最小成对遗传距离的估计值以及该人群的最小FST。以这种方式获得的FST与从该人群的其他可用数据中获得的结果一致，证实了对数量性状进行表型分析以阐明遗传结构的实用性。
