[Correlation of genetic and demographic differences between populations of indigenous inhabitants of the Northeastern USSR].

Correlative analysis is given for some demographic characteristics in populations of asiatic eskimos, coastal and reindeer chuckchies, Kamchatka koryaks and Chukotka evens. Summarized estimation of population differences for 7 demographic parameters is presented. Highly reliable correlation of genetic distinctions as defined for 17 polymorphic loci, and demographic differences between populations estimated for 7 parameters (r = 0.868, P less than 0.001) was found. The role of ecological factors in formation of genetic structure features and application of demographic characteristics, as possible indicator of ecological particularities of the given populations, is considered.
