Summary/Abstract: Classic genetical investigations in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the Second World War have been connected mostly with the applicative fields of agriculture. Initial activities in the modern fundamental genetics began in the sixties and are tied to the topics of microevolution (snails), cytogenetics and hybridisation (fishes), and caryology (certain plant species). Soon after, systematic studies of the recent human population were started within the framework of bioanthropological investigations. Majority of all of these studies have been conducted in the Department of genetics and cytotaxonomy, founded within the Institute of Biology of Sarajevo University (1973). The Department has implemented a series of research project financed by the State Science Funds, in cooperation with Department of Biology – Faculty of Science, as well as with other university institutions dealing with biological sciences.
