UTJECAJ MIGRACIJA NA POPULACIJSKU STRUKTURU SREDNJODALMATINSKIH OTOKA
The study is part of a wider anthropological study devoted to the biological and cultural (micro)differentiation among isolated village populations in the Eastern Adriatic. The migration data are collected from lntervlews and from the church registers of each island's and peninsula parish. Using a well established methodology of temporal migration analysis conducted on the island of Brač, parental and ancestral origin of proposed populations of the Eastern Adriatic and their migrational characteristics were investigated. All results clearly confirm our presumption of the existence of various forms of (micro)evolutionary trends for each island and the peninsula, which are expressed through the migration of alleles on each of the islands and peninsula. Although similar/ties can be observed in migrational movements over the region in the sense of high endogamies and small values of within-island and off-island migrations, the change of migrational patterns for every island and the peninsula is unique.
