  Understanding genetic diversity is exceptionally important in order to ensure variability and viability among populations of the same species. Genetic diversity among populations is a consequence of different evolutionary mechanisms that act on them, resulting in different genotypic and allelic frequencies between generations and their future generations; among the different evolutionary mechanisms is migration or gene flow. Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) is an interesting tool to organize and map populations, in addition to highlighting the effects of genetic diversity caused by different evolutionary mechanisms, including migration. The objective of this work was to verify the effects of migration along the generations, analyzing them according to the Conventional Techniques of Biostatistics - Nei, Hedrick and Tocher Cluster Statistics - and, later, to analyze if the self-organizing map..
