Genetic and morphological distances between major human races

Dendrograms reflecting differentiation for structural gene markers' frequencies and for polygenic morphological traits of major human races represented by a series of ethnoterritorial groups are considered. It is claimed that separation of the negroid branch preceded the divergence of europeoids and mongoloids. The conclusion is drawn that the hypothesis of initial separation of humans to Euro-African and Asian-Oceanic groups of populations does not hold.
