[Genealogic proximity and genetic proximity]

Data collected concerning the Kel Kummer Touareg tribe permitted the characterization of each person by (a) a "geneological profile", by which the genetic contributions made to him by various of the founders of the tribe can be seen; and (b) a "hematological profile", which shows the different alleles existing in the tribe which have come to him. The study of the correlation between these two approaches shows that, overall, a person is defined better by his membership in a population than by his geneological network.
