Item A physical fitness survey of the peoples of Ceylon(University of Ceylon. Colombo, 1949) Cullumbine, H.Item A genetic study of the Veddas and the Sinhalese(Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1986) Ellepola, S.B.Sixteen polymorphic and 6 monomorphic gene loci have been studied in veddhas from Kandeganvila, Millans and Dimbulagala and in Sinhalese from Badulla in Sri Lanka. The genetic identity between the two populations was calculated from frequencies of the phenotypes at such locus using the formula of NEi. The genetic distance between the two population groups calculated from these genetic identities also using Nei's formulae, is approximately 50,000 years. This corresponds to the period of which Homo sapiens balangodensis is postulated to have been in existence in Sri Lanka. It is postulated that the differeces in some of the allele frequencies between the two populations date from he late paleolithic period of Sri LankaItem Craniofacial anthropometry of Sri Lankans(University of Colombo. Colombo, 1998) Nanayakkara, D.The data available on craniofacial anthropometry of Sri Lankans are very scanty. These measurements are an important consideration to the clinician and the anthropologist. A total of 8409 children , 3954 males and 4450 females in the age range of 6-18 years, belonging tot eh three major ethnic groups in Sri Lanka. Moors were examined with the aim of establishing the normal values for a series of seven craniofacial measurements obtained using holtain anthropometric instruments. Norms were established for 1 year age categories from 6-18 years. for males and females in the three ethnic groups. The singhlese males and females showed higher values for head circumference head breadth and bicondylar breadth than the Sri Lankan tamils and moors, differences which were statistically significant (p0.001) the facial height of the Sri Lankan moors were significatly greater that of the sinhalese and Sri Lankan tamils.Item Indigenization of the social sciences(1980) Dube, S.C.Abstract available from Library, Please quote title when requesting
