Nanai population is ‘a white spot’ for both genetics and demography, despite it is the largest indigenous
ethnic group of the Amur region. <...> The variety of dialects of Nanai language (which belongs to Manchu-Tungus
branch of the Altaic family), and Nanai cultural diversity indicate the complex population structure of the
ethnos, which was formed on the ancient genetic background by following multiple migrations waves. <...> To
determinate the modern demographic structure of Nanais, we analyzed the information from the household
books. 8 villages from 3 districts of the Khabarovsk region were studied (more than 5000 records). <...> The
villages in Nanai and Solnechny districts (the initial Nanai-area) are mono-ethnic (80% of their population
are ethnic Nanais), while in the villages of the Komsomolsky district the proportion of Nanais is twice lower. <...> The obtained results indicate that Nanai
population presents a closed demographic system, and the probability of its miscegenation by mixing with
other ethnic groups is not signifi cant. The Nanai surnames emerged from their clan names and therefore
represent the patrilinear structure of the population. <...> The present day number of clans (13) is twice lower as
compared to the 19th century. <...> Clans have clear geographical
areas: for example, Beldy is frequent in the ‘Upper’ Nanais while Samar is frequent in the ‘Gorin’
Nanais. <...> These demographic data are in agreement with the genetic ones, which we analyzed in the same
populations. <...> The greatest genetic diversity was found in the Beldy clan. <...> It confi rms that Beldy is
a conglomerate of smaller clans. <...> The gene pools of other clans are so homogeneous that Y-chromosomal <...>
