Shipibo Hunting And The Overkill Hypothesis
The "overkill" hypothesis, as promulgated by Paul Martin and others, is supported by evidence of asynchronous extinction of megafauna and other species in North America associated with the arrival of Pleistocene hunters in the Western Hemisphere. In this essay, further evidence—based on observations made of the response of a small party of Shipibo hunters in the upper Peruvian Amazon—is offered in support of the hypothesis. These observations wer…
Anthropologists, Abortion and the Cultural War in America
Darrell A. Posey (1947-2001)
From the time he began his fieldwork among the Kayap Indians of Brazil in 1977 until his death in March, 2001, Darrell Posey was as engaged with his chosen field of anthropology as one could be.Born and raised on a farm in rural Kentucky by a family with deep roots in American history and proud traditions, Darrell brought to this work an extraordinary preparation as an entomologist and geographer, with

Poliginia y Fecundidad en los Shipibos de la Amazonía Peruana
En este tercer y final estudio, el autor se propone probar la hipótesis específica de que la poliginia, en los shipibo, limita la fecundidad de las mujeres a nivel individual y comunal mediante la abstinencia post-partum y la prolongación de los intervalos entre cada nacimiento que, en una unión polígina, son más largos. Es de esta manera cómo los efectos de la modernización no necesariamente se asocian a una fecundidad más baja sino que, inclusi…
Conocimiento y Uso de Anticonceptivos Herbales en una Comunidad Shipibo
Una encuesta de salud hecha en 1964 en una comunidad shipibo, reveló el conocimiento y uso de preparaciones herbales a las que se atribuyen propiedades anticonceptivas. Una siguiente encuesta, en 1969, documentó el conocimiento, uso y efectividad de dichas preparaciones; sin embargo se notó que la comunidad tenía la fecundidad más alta de cualquier agrupación humana. Así, a pesar del uso de los anticonceptivos herbales, la fecundidad de las mujer…
Alta Fecundidad en una Comunidad Nativa de la Amazonía Peruana
Se trata de un estudio inicial de la fecundidad y los cambios culturales en una comunidad shipibo, realizado entre 1964 y 1969 que incluye los aspectos: social, ambiental, económico, cultural y sanitario. El crecimiento de la población en esta comunidad alcanza un 5% anual, cifra que es mayor a la encontrada por otros investigadores en otros grupos. Analiza los factores que contribuyen al crecimiento poblacional y establece, entre otras cosas, qu…

Shipibo polygyny and patrilocality
Social and cultural change is a major feature of the modern world. George Mur‐dock and John Whiting have provided a theoretical framework for measuring social and cultural change by describing residence patterns and family structures, by showing how they may be linked, and by showing how changes in them can signal cultural change. This study tests the Murdock and Whiting hypotheses by determining the prevalences of polygyny and patrilocality in e…
Polygyny and Fertility among the Shipibo of the Peruvian Amazon
This report describes a study of the fertility experience of an Amazon Indian tribe that has shown evidence of having the highest documented fertility of any human group. The Shipibo, who live in the upper Peruvian Amazon, are experiencing rapid cultural change, including a decline in the prevalence of polygyny. This study tests the specific hypotheses that polygyny limits individual female and community fertility through the mechanism of post pa…

Effects of cultural change on health and fertility in Amazonian Indian societies
Health and demography of native Amazonians
Native Amazonians have been the victims of two massive historical assaults, one at the time of the Conquest and the other during the Twentieth century. Due to epidemic disease and environmental destruction, many tribes have gone from contact to displacement, decimation, and extinction in a single generation. Deculturation and the construction of large development projects have had catastrophic effects on native populations. In many ways, native A…
Why are there so many of us? Description and diagnosis of a planetary ecopathological process
Individual fertility rate
Fertility measurement in small preindustrial societies is hampered by small numbers and the lack of some essential data. Most measures of fertility are collective and require large enough populations to permit grouped data analysis. Existing individual measures of fertility are often unsatisfactory. This paper presents a new measure of individual fertility, the Individual Fertility Rate (IFR), which is constructed by dividing parity by reproducti…

Knowledge and Use of Herbal Contraceptives in a Peruvian Amazon Village
A 1964 health study of a Peruvian Amazon Indian village revealed the knowledge and use of herbal preparations alleged to have contraceptive properties. A 1969 follow-up study attempted to document the extent of knowledge and use of these preparations and to make an assessment of their effectiveness. Among other things, the village was found to have the highest fertility recorded for any human group. Over 50% of all females aged 15 or more were aw…
