Abstract

The genetic demographic structure of 12 rural populations from eight uluses of Sakha Republic (Yakutia) has been analyzed. The ethnic, sex, and age composition of the population and the reproductive parameters of women that have completed and have not completed the reproductive period are reported. Crow’s indices have been estimated in representatives of three indigenous ethnic groups (Yakuts, Evens, and Evenks).
