Anthropometric variation in West-Central Mexico
Anthropometric data from five indigenous Mexican groups, collected by Carlos and Manuel Basauri in 1933, were reanalyzed and compared with serological and cranial non-metric data. Ten cranial and 14 postcranial measurements were used, both separately and together. Bias-corrected r0 and FST values were slightly higher for the postcranial analysis (0.033) than for the cranial analysis (0.024). Given the degree of linguistic differentiation among th…

Odontometric microevolution in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico
Colonization and microevolution in Formative Oaxaca, Mexico
Linguistic evidence indicates that the Zapotecan languages spread from the Central Valleys of Oaxaca to the southwest during the Middle and Late Formative (800 BC‐AD 250), and to the north and east during the Classic and Postclassic (AD 250–1521). The archaeological record of the lower Río Verde Valley, on the western coast of Oaxaca, supports this model of linguistic differentiation. The earliest significant settlement in the valley dates to the…
Culturally modified skeletal remains from the site of Huamelulpan, Oaxaca, Mexico
A series of crania from the site of Huamelulpan, Oaxaca, Mexico (400 BC to AD 800), were examined. Four showed notable cultural modifications. One exhibited a healed trephination, while the other three were perforated through the frontal. The cultural context and significance of these modifications is discussed, especially in relationship to the site of Monte Albán, where trephination was more common than anywhere else in Mesoamerica. The post-mo…

Cranial non-metric variation in North and Central Mexico
Fifty cranial non-metric traits were scored on twenty series of crania from north and central Mexico in the American Museum of Natural History. Additional crania from three of the series were scored in the Musco Nacional de Antropología. Mexico City. Although a total of 471 crania and 316 mandibles were registered, only 11 series containing 387 crania and 270 mandibles, were of sufficient length for statistical analysis. Trait frequencies in thes…
Cristobal Del Castillo And The Mexica Exodus
The history of it was saved, but it was burned when Itzcoatl ruled in Mexico. A council of rulers of Mexico took place. They said: ‘It is not necessary for the common people to know of the writings; government will be defamed, and this will only spread sorcery in the land; for it containeth many falsehoods.’ Fray Bernardino de Sahagún's account of the process by which the Aztec rulers edited their past indicates the magnitude of bias that we may …
