Absract  The discipline of Biological Anthropology (or Human Biology) incorporates study of biology and environmental factors, as well as the forces of micro-evolution leading to macro-evolution, which ultimately influences the structure of human populations. In the present paper and attempt has been made to study the distribution of serum proteins–KM and GM  frequencies among the people of India, which are analysed in relation to ecological, socio-economic and linguistic factors.
