Abstrakt		Within the framework of anthropological analysis of population structure, various measures of biological distances (anthropometrical, physiological, adontometric and dermatologlyphic), socio-cultural (linguistic) and bio-cultural distances (kinship coefficient estimated from migrational data) between nine rural populations of Selska Vallery, Slovenia were calculated. The model-bound (Malecot's isolation by distance) and model-free approach (analysis of the structure of rankcorrelation matrices among different distance measures) were applied. The results showed that (a) geographic distance and migrational kinship in females was the only variable that behaved as expected in relation to the isolation by distance model; (b) a clear distinction of female anthropometric, dermatologlypphic and physiological traits, distinction among male dermatoglyphic, physiological and anthropometric traits, a finding that was not present in females. The authors discuss and compare the application of model-bound and model-free approaches in the study of population structure, stressing the dependence of the rate of (micro)evolutionary processes upon the bistorical processes that favored or restricted the gene flow.
