Objetivo The genetic diversity of living humans harbors the clues to the evolution of our species. Human populations that exist today have been molded by the combination of evolutionary forces that have acted on them throughout their history. Information from nuclear and mitochondrial genes from present-day populations can inform us about prehistoric migrations, natural selection, social and demographic structure and the frequency and types of mutations our species has experienced. Genetic studies of current samples of ancestral populations can be integrated with findings from archaeology, linguistics and history to develop a more complete picture of our past than has heretofore been possible. Molecular methods which are now being applied to the study of the human genes are revealing a level of diversity between individuals which is far greater than had been detected using previously available techniques. As a result the precision with which populations, their origins and their interrelationships can be defined using relatively small samples has increased enormously. We proposed to collect and preserve European population biological samples by extracting deoxiribonucleic acid (DNA) from individuals. The project of setting up an "European Biological Archive" has been selected to be granted by the Commission of the European Communities Contract number ERBCHRXCT920032. The possibility of financing the partecipation of laboratories of Central and Eastern Europe is adding further potential to the scope of the project by opening new perspectives from the genetic analysis of important populations as Bulgarians, Turks, Greeks, Estonians, Hungarians, Roumanians, Czecks and Slovaks. The possibility of studying also Finno-Ugric speaking people and the relationships between Romanies (Gypsies) and Indian castes will integrate the analysis of the biological history of European populations from a wider perspective.
