MARITAL AND MIGRATION STRUCTURE AND INBREEDING IN ADYGS POPULATION

Endogamy and gametic indeces for both Russian and Adyg populations living in the Adyg autonomous region of Krasnodar district were determined on different levels of territorial units: village, rural, community (a group of villagers) and rural region. Inbreeding coefficient was estimated for Adyg population and its structure analysed: a random component contributes mostly to the inbreeding coefficient (F(st) = 0.00991), non-random component of the inbreeding coefficient being F(is) = 0.010009, which testifies to negative marital assortativity among Adygs. Local inbreeding "a" and decline in the inbreeding "empty-set" coefficient at a distance from 0 to 500 km were calculated using the Malecot's formula: the coefficient "a" was found to be 0.00397, which is in good accordance with the F(st).
