Blood polymorphisms and morphological variability in Brazilian Indians
A total of 1,025 adults belonging to four Brazilian tribes were simulataneously studied for 12–16 anthropometric characteristics and 7–11 blood polymorphic loci. Several comparisons using both univariate and multivariate statistical techniques failed to show the negative correlation between these two sets of variables found by other workers. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc
Gene flow across tribal barriers and its effect among the Amazonian Içana river Indians
Demographic information was obtained from 622 individuals of five communities of primarily Baniwa Amerindians living near the Içana river in Brazil. Four of these populations, plus another from the same area, were also studied genetically. The latter investigation included the blood and, in some cases, saliva of 531 subjects, variously tested in relation to 40 genetic systems. Demographically these groups are characterized by young age, high inte…
New studies on the Macushi Indians of northern Brazil
Demographic data and genetic information concerning 40 genetic systems are reported for three populations of Macushi Indians, and have been compared to those already obtained for three other communities of this tribe. These are young populations (mean age, 19 years), with a low sex ratio (90), low percentages of non-Indian ancestry (1-2%) and of marriages between locally born persons (34). Intertribal unions (14%) are less frequent than among the…
On Guaymi in Costa Rica and Panama
Migration and genetic infrastructure of the central american guaymi and their affinities with other tribal groups
New genetic data on 40 red cell enzymes, antigenic blood groups, and serum proteins representing 42 separate loci, are reported for two Guaymi communities in Southeastern Costa Rica. These two settlements, Limoncito and Abrojo, are of recent origin, having been established by Panamanian migrants in the last 50 years. Detailed data on the provenance of these migrants permits an analysis of how these settlement patterns differ from those typical of…
Dermatoglyphic characters and physique
The association of anthropometrics, particularly hand measurements, with dermatoglyphic characters is quantified. Children with square hands exhibit higher main line indices, a‐b ridge counts, and more open atd angles. Adults with broader hands have more arches. Taller individuals with larger hands present higher a‐b ridge counts and leaner subjects with long narrow hands, closer atd angles. The correlation of physique and dermatoglyphics is smal…

Demographic and genetic relationships among Brazilian Wapishana Indians
Demographic information is given and data on 25 genetic systems are reanalysed for six populations of Wapishana Indians living in northern Brazil. Despite 200 years of contact with non-Indians, the maximum amount of admixture that may be present in persons who claim 'pure' Indian ancestry is 3%. Historical sources mention considerable exchange with the Macushi, Taurepan and Atorai tribes, confirmed by our genealogies. Departures from the maximum …
Genetic demography of the amazonian Ticuna Indians
Electrophoretic variants in three Amerindian tribes
Data are presented on electrophoretic variants of 25 polypeptides found in the blood serum and erythrocytes, in 812 individuals from three Amerindian tribes, the Pano, the Baniwa, and the Kanamari. Two “private polymorphisms” were encountered, of PEPB in the Pano and CAII in the Baniwa. A single example of a different PEPB variant was encountered in the Baniwa, and two possible examples of an unstable variant of HGB A 2 in the Kanamari. In additi…
The Evolutionary Relationships of Two Populations
A multidisciplinary study of the Guaymi of western Panama was undertaken to confirm or disprove their apparent similarity to the Yanomama of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil, inferred from allele frequencies for six polymorphic loci studied in the Guaymi by Matson and colleagues in 1965. Gene frequencies were estimated from the present sample of 484, which is more than twice as large as the previous sample and appears to be completely indep…
Demografia genética dos índios Ticuna da Amazônia
Os índios Ticuna do Brasil são atualmente uma tribo bastante aculturada e integrada, que habita, na sua maioria, aldeias localizadas ao longo do rio Solimões. São aqui apresentados dados demográficos coletados em oito destas aldeias, sendo que para cinco delas foram obtidas informações minuciosas quanto à migração, fertilidade e mortalidade. Os Ticuna caracterizam-se por uma mobilidade relativamente grande, fertililidade alta (número médio de fil…
The immunoglobulin allotypes (Gm and Km) of twelve Indian Tribes of Central and South America
The Gm and Km immunoglobulin allotypes are presented, for the first time, for six South American Indian tribes (Baniwa, Kanamari, Kraho, Makiritare, Panoa, and Ticuna) and one Central American tribe (Guaymi). Additional allotype information is presented for five previously reported South American tribes (Cayapo, Piaroa, Trio, Xavante and Yanomama). The distributions of the Gm and Km allotypes among all the tribal populations tested to date are re…
Intra and intertribal genetic variation within a linguistic group
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…
Genetic structure of a tribal population, the Yanomama Indians. XIII. Dental microdifferentiation
Data are presented on the frequency of the following eight dental traits in 635 Yanomama and 65 Makiritare Indians: upper central incisor rotation or winging, shoveling of maxillary incisors, maxillary molar hypocone reduction, Carabelli's trait, mandibular molar cusp number, mandibular molar cusp pattern, rotation of second lower premolar, and pattern of second lower premolar cusps. Yanomama dentition is unusual in the high frequency of six cusp…
The genetic structure of a tribal population, the Yanomama Indians. XII. Biodemographic studies
The Yanomama Indians of Southern Vanezuela and Northern Brazil are one of the largest, relatively unacculturated tribes of the tropical rain forest. Over a period of eight years data have been collected from a considerable portion of their territory on estimated age, sex ratio, fertility rates (as determined by physical examination and urine tests), and infant death rates. Although it has been impossible to collect direct data on infanticide, thi…
The genetic structure of a tribal population, the Yanomama Indians VII. Anthropometric differences among Yanomama villages
Anthropometric data on 12 variables in 19 villages of the Yanomama Indians demonstrate significant heterogeneity in physique among villages of this tribe. Mahalanobis' distances (D 2 ) calculated from the data lead to the tentative conclusion of a general correspondence between anthropometric and geographic distances separating villages. The mean stature of the Yanomama is smaller than that of most other South American tribes which have been meas…
Demographic structure of a primitive population
A stochastic computer simulation model has been used to study the demography of the Ya̧nomamö Indians of Venezuela and Brazil, whose social organization is typical of many primitive societies. It has been found by simulation that perhaps one third of all Ya̧nomamö marriages involve individuals related as first or second cousins, and that more than 16% of all males must leave their villages to find wives, in spite of a strong preference for villag…
The influence of cultural factors on the demography and pattern of gene flow from the Makiritare to the Yanomama Indians
A single village of Yanomama Indians was found to have frequencies of Di a of 0.06 and of Ap a of 0.08, in contrast to 40 other villages where Di a was absent and Ap a quite rare. The source of these genes was identified as a village of Makiritare Indians, but the two allele frequencies were approximately the same or even higher in the Yanomama than in the Makiritare village. Demographic, social and cultural parameters affecting marriage and repr…

In this paper we present the results of blood group typings for a total of 33 villages distributed among five South American Indian tribes--Yanomama (21 villages), Makiritare (eight villages), Macushi (two villages), Piaroa (one village), and Wapishana (one village). These new results for the Yanomama and Makiritare tribes have been combined with those previously reported to allow a better appreciation of the distribution of allelic frequencies i…
