Serogenetic studies on the Daga of the interior of the mainland of Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea
The Daga people of Milne Bay, the easternmost Province of Papua New Guinea, occupy an upland area but do extend to the coast. Linguistically they are Papuan and, unlike their Austronesian-speaking neighbours, they appear originally to have been an exclusively inland people. They have been in contact with missionaries and miners since the turn of the century, and genetic evidence of Caucasoid gene flow may be present in the finding of several lact…
Persistent high intestinal lactase activity in Papua New Guinea. Lactose absorption curves in two populations
Thirty adolescent males, aged 16-19 years, all of Huli, Mendi or Dunai descent, sampled at Tari in Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, and 29 children aged between 9 and 15 years, all speakers of Daga and sampled at Agaun in the Milne Bay Province, have been tested for persistent high intestinal lactase activity. Three persons at Tari and five at Agaun were found to be lactose absorbers. There is reasonably convincing evidence that all five a…
Lactose absorption in a Western Massim population
A sample of adults from Goodenough Island represents the first Austronesian- speaking series to be tested for lactose absorption. The results found were similar to those for non-Austronesian-speakers tested on the nearby mainland of Papua New Guinea. It is not yet possible to conclude whether the polymorphism, so unexpectedly present in populations with no history of milk utilization, is an example of founder effect or whether it is kept in exist…
