The Habbani Yemeni Jews were an isolate in Yemen for centuries. Since 1800 the population has been comprised of six patrilineages and has steadily grown. By 1950 all Habbani Jews had emigrated to Israel where all but one patrilineage live in their own village, Bareket. The 1950 population of Bareket numbered about 500 individuals, and the 1980 population about 1200. Isonymy analyses of Habbani genealogical data reveal an evolution of preferential patrilineage endogamy. Nonrandom inbreeding has accounted for over 50% of the population's mean inbreeding coefficient for the last three generations. Furthermore, preferential close patrilateral cousin marriage has increased during the last century. Nonisonymous surname analyses reveal deviations from random interlineage marriage as well. The present study examines the effects of the evolution of Habbani population structure on present day anthropometric variation among the five patrilineages on Bareket. In 1984 anthropometric data were collected from 243 young adult Habbani. This sample contains over 50% of the young adult Habbani living on Bareket, and these individuals represent offspring from almost 90% of the marriages which produced the present day young adult Habbani generation. ANOVA of Habbani male anthropometrics finds eight measures that differ significantly among the patrilineages. Discriminant function analysis of Habbani male anthropometrics reveals statistically significant Mahalanobis D2 distances between all patrilineages. ANOVA of Habbani female anthropometrics finds seven measures that differ significantly among the patrilineages. Discriminant function analysis of Habbani female anthropometrics reveals statistically significant Mahalanobis D2 distances between all but two patrilineages. Factor analysis of Habbani male anthropometrics results in seven anthropometric factors that account for 72.9% of the total variance. ANOVA of individual male factor scores finds three factors that differ significantly among the patrilineages. Discriminant function analysis of Habbani male factor scores yields statistically significant Mahalanobis D2 distances between most patrilineages. Factor analysis of Habbani female anthropometrics results in nine factors that account for 76.1% of the total variance. ANOVA of individual female factor scores finds three factors that differ significantly among the patrilineages. Discriminant function analysis of Habbani female factor scores yields statistically significant Mahalanobis D2 distances between most lineages.
