Welshness and fertility.

چکیده
The population of Wales can be divided into two parts, the Welsh and the non-Welsh, who differ in some genetic characters (Ashley and Davies, 1966a) and in their susceptibility to a number of common diseases (Ashley and Davies, 1966b; Ashley, 1966, 1967a, b, c). Both moieties of this population share the environment of the Principality of Wales and have similar occupations and similar social status (Ashley and Davies, 1966a) but can be separated on the basis of two parameters, the ability to speak the Welsh language and the possession of a Welsh surname. The present study is directed to an investigation of the differential fertility of the Welsh and nonWelsh people of Wales.
