This project involves a physical anthropologist and a physician who will create, in a developing country, a laboratory that is capable of using contemporary molecular tools to study human populations, and will optimize methods for DNA collection and market typing in this setting. The project will take place in south India, and will benefit all involved parties by increasing our understanding of genetic evolution in this place. The project will also serve as a test case for similar laboratories in similar developing countries. Investigators in a wide range of countries will have first hand involvement in helping achieve the goals of the Human Genome Diversity Project. Through this project's experience as a model for other countries, the goals of the Human Genome Diversity Project will be advanced as it attempts to sample worldwide populations in order to further our understanding of human evolution.

该项目涉及一名体质人类学家和一名医生，他们将在一个发展中国家创建一个实验室，能够使用当代分子工具来研究人类群体，并将在此环境中优化 DNA 收集和市场分型的方法。 该项目将在印度南部进行，通过增加我们对这个地方基因进化的了解，所有参与方都将受益。 该项目还将作为类似发展中国家的类似实验室的测试案例。 多个国家的研究人员将直接参与帮助实现人类基因组多样性项目的目标。 通过该项目作为其他国家典范的经验，人类基因组多样性项目的目标将得到推进，因为它试图对世界各地的人口进行抽样，以进一步了解人类进化。
