Genetic differences between Solomon Islander populations are distinguishable on the basis of melanosome packaging in epidermal keratinocytes. By electron microscopic study of skin pigmentation in various Melanesian populations, we have found distinct inter-island differences in the mode of melanosome packaging. Melanosomes are found as singlets in the skin of Bougainville Islanders but are found aggregated in melanosome complexes in Malaita Islanders and Ontong Javanese. This variation in melanosome packaging represents an important biologic difference found between Solomon Islanders and may reflect the genetic diversity existing in the original Melanesian founding population or the genetic diversity existing in the original Melanesian founding population or populations.
所罗门群岛不同人群之间的基因差异可以根据表皮角质形成细胞中黑素小体的包装来区分。通过对不同美拉尼西亚人群皮肤色素沉着的电子显微镜研究，我们发现黑素小体包装模式存在明显的岛屿间差异。在布干维尔岛民的皮肤中，黑素小体以单个体形式存在，但在马莱塔岛民和翁通爪哇人的皮肤中，黑素小体聚集在黑素小体复合体中。黑素小体包装的这种差异是在所罗门群岛人群中发现的一个重要生物学差异，可能反映了原始美拉尼西亚奠基人群中存在的基因多样性，或者原始美拉尼西亚奠基人群或多个群体中存在的基因多样性。
