    Area of Science:

    • Anthropology
    • Population Genetics
    • Human Genetics

    Background:

    • The Kureel and Jaiswar Chamars are distinct caste groups in India, occupying the lowest rung of the social hierarchy.
    • Geographical separation and isolation are common factors influencing genetic diversity within populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the genetic effects of geographical fission and subsequent isolation on two Chamar caste groups.
    • To compare the ABO and Rh(D) blood group frequencies between the Kureel Chamars of Lucknow and the Jaiswar Chamars of Jaunpur.

    Main Methods:

    • Blood samples were collected from unrelated individuals from both groups.
    • ABO and Rh(D) blood typing was performed on all collected samples.
    • Statistical analysis was used to compare the observed frequencies.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differences in ABO and Rh(D) blood group allele frequencies were observed between the two Chamar groups.
    • The genetic data suggests a measurable impact of geographical isolation on the populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Geographical isolation has led to detectable genetic differentiation between the Kureel and Jaiswar Chamar populations.
    • The study highlights the role of isolation in shaping the genetic landscape of endogamous social groups.
