Abstract
SINCE the Diego (Dia) blood group was first reported1 in 1954, this factor has been demonstrated only in Asiatic or Mongoloid peoples2. The survey recorded here for the Diego blood group in Malayan Senoi and Jakun people was an attempt to establish soms positive genetic evidence for their affinity to Mongoloid groups in South-east Asia.
