  • AVPR1b variation and the emergence of adaptive phenotypes in Platyrrhini primates

    Open Access•Bibiana Sampaio de Oliveira Fam, Guillermo Reales et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Primatology•2019

    Platyrrhini (New World monkeys, NWm) are a group of primates characterized by behavioral and reproductive traits that are otherwise uncommon among primates, including social monogamy, direct paternal care, and twin births. As a consequence, the study of Platyrrhine primates is an invaluable tool for the discovery of the genetic repertoire underlying these taxon‐specific traits. Recently, high conservation of vasopressin (AVP) sequence, in contras…

  • Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 ( FGFR1 ) variants and craniofacial variation in Amerindians and related populations

    Open Access•Jorge A Gómez-Valdés, Jorge A Gómez‐Valdés et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Human Biology•2012

    FGFR1 polymorphisms, especially rs4647905, can have an important role in the normal human skull variation, primarily due to their influence in head length, which would affect other cephalometric absolute/linear measures as well as indices like CI as a result of the pervasive nature of the morphological integration that characterizes the human skull

  • Stability or variation? Patterns of lactase gene and its enhancer region distributions in Brazilian Amerindians

    Open Access•Deise C Friedrich, Sidia M Callegari‐jacque et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2012•Cited by: 3•References: 34

    Lactase persistence (LP) is the phenotypic trait in which lactase secretion is maintained during adulthood. LP is due to mutations in the LCT enhancer region, located 14‐kb upstream of the gene. In Europeans, the −13910*T allele is associated with LP. In Africans this allele is rare while other mutations in this same region were related to LP. The LCT is highly polymorphic in human populations, but so far Brazilian Amerindians had not been invest…

  • A new subhaplogroup of native American Y-Chromosomes from the Andes

    Open Access•Marilza S Jota, Daniela R Lacerda et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•2011•Cited by: 5•References: 22

    The human Y chromosome contains highly informative markers for making historical inferences about the pre-Columbian peopling of Americas. However, the scarcity of these markers has limited its use in the inference of shared ancestry and past migrations relevant to the origin of the culturally and biologically diverse Native Americans. To identify new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and increase the phylogenetic resolution of the major hapl…

  • Are the Biological Differences Between North American Indians and Eskimos Truly Profound? [and Comments and Reply]

    Nancy Suzanne Ossenberg, Marie Striegel Clabeaux et al.•ARTICLE•Current Anthropology•1978•Cited by: 29•References: 10

    A prevailing view in North American anthropology is that Eskimos are descendants of the most recent migrants from Siberia and are more closely related to Asiatic Mongoloids than to Indians. The assumption of Eskimo-Indian biological distinctiveness is challenged by genetic-marker and cranial data, analyzed separately and then compared, for populations from the Arctic, Subarctic, Northwest Coast, and Great Plains. Genetic distances and cluster ana…

    Open Access•Francisco M Salzano, Henry Gershowitz et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1972•Cited by: 4•References: 9

    Five hundred and twenty‐six individuals from four populations were studied in relation to the ABO, MNSs, P, Rh, Lutheran, Kell, Lewis, Duffy, Kidd, Diego and I systems, as well as for the Wright antigen of blood groups. The H‐Le a salivary secretion of 406 of them was also investigated. Considering the gene markers which show variation in South American Indians, the Cayapo frequencies are in the middle of the distribution range for genes L Ms , R…

  • Third molar agenesis in a trihybrid Brazilian population

    Open Access•Juliane De Almeida Crispim, J Crispim et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1972•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    The frequency of missing third molars is about eight per cent per quadrant in a sample of 490 males of the mixed White/Negro/Indian population of Natal, Brazil. Absence of the four third molars appears in two per cent of the individuals of the sample. The degree of asymmetry for the trait was not marked. No differences were observed when the persons were separated on morphological grounds as Whites or Negroids suggesting that these segregants may…

  • Anthropometric studies in Brazilian Cayapo Indians

    Open Access•F J Darocha, Francisco M Salzano•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1972•Cited by: 11•References: 3

    Results of 16 measurements and 7 indices obtained from 130 men and 156 women belonging to three populations of Brazilian Indians are reported. For both males and females the averages for stature and head breadth are in the middle of the distribution range of values observed in other South American tribes; those for head length and nasal height are relatively low but the averages for sitting height, calf circumference and minimum frontal breadth a…

  • Fingerprint quantitative variation and asymmetry in Brazilian Whites and Blacks

    Open Access•Francisco M Salzano, F R De Sá E Benevides Fo et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1974•Cited by: 4•References: 5

    A total of 432 Whites and 654 Blacks were studied in relation to the index of pattern intensity and a smaller number (296 Whites; 496 Blacks) for total ridge count. There does not exist a clear gradient in either sex when the Blacks are subdivided into three phenotypic categories according to the amount of African ancestry they seem to possess. The standard deviations and coefficients of variation are strikingly similar in all groups studied. Rac…

  • Child growth and adult physique in Brazilian Xingu Indians

    Open Access•Phyllis B Eveleth, Francisco M Salzano et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1974•Cited by: 17•References: 5

    Data on stature, sitting height, biacromial width, and some other body measurements on 267 children and 363 adults of the Xingu Indians of Brazil have been analyzed. Adult height shows no significant decrease with age over an age range of 20–50 years, thus indicating the absence of secular changes. The average Xingu child seems to be around the twenty‐fifth to fiftieth centile for height of British children (if our age estimates are correct) unti…

  • Eruption of permanent teeth in Brazilian Whites and Blacks

    Open Access•Maria J De Melo E Freitas, Francisco M Salzano•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1975•Cited by: 3•References: 10

    A total of 302 White and 904 Black children six, nine and 12 years of age were studied for the eruption of their permanent teeth. Differences between the two ethnic groups were not large, but the Black subjects were generally more precocious at the beginning of the process (especially the girls, both in the upper and lower incisors). At nine and 12 years of age, however, these dissimilarities disappear. The latter do not seem to be related to dis…

  • New Evidence for a Late Introduction of Malaria into the New World [and Comments and Reply]

    Corinne Shear Wood, J L Angel et al.•ARTICLE•Current Anthropology•1975•Cited by: 5•References: 2

    New evidence is offered to strengthen the case for a post-Conquest introduction of malaria into the New World. An investigation of human physiological factors influencing host selection by malaria vectors revealed a strong preference by Anopheles gambiae for human hosts with blood-group O. The unique, overwhelming group-O frequency present among indigenous American populations is seen as a result of mother-child ABO incompatibility effects operat…

  • Association and linkage between genetic markers and morphological and behavioral attributes in dizygotic twins

    Rodney C P Go, Robert C Elston et al.•ARTICLE•Social Biology•1977

    In a sample of 51 like‐sex DZ twin pairs (22 male, 29 female) 49 quantitative traits were analyzed for association with, and linkage to, each of 7 informative blood systems. Nine associations were found to be significant at the 0.01 level, and a further 27 significant at the 0.05 level, whereas the numbers expected to be significant by chance alone are about 3 and 17 respectively. The most consistent associations are those of Rh with the scores o…

  • Intra and intertribal genetic variation within a linguistic group

    Open Access•Francisco M Salzano, James V Neel et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Physical…•1977•Cited by: 15•References: 18

    A total of 562 individuals living in four villages of two Brazilian Indian tribes (Cayapo and Krahó) was studied in relation to blood groups ABO, MNSs, P, Rh, Lewis, Duffy, Kidd and Diego; haptoglobin, Gc, acid phosphatase and phosphoglucomutase types. These results were compared with those obtained previously among the Xavante, and the inhabitants of three other Cayapo villages, all of whom speak Ge languages; the ranges in gene frequencies obse…
