    Open AccessFrancisco M Salzano, M H L P Franco et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1997References: 10

    A total of 94 individuals from the Xavante village of Rio das Mortes were variously studied in relation to 28 protein genetic systems. No variation was observed for 15 of them, in accordance with previous studies. Of the remaining 13, four (Rh, Duffy, acid phosphatase, and GC) showed significant departures from the averages obtained in 32 other South American Indian populations. If studies performed in the 1960s are considered, there is indicatio…

  • The Adaptive Dimensions of Leisure

    Open AccessJoshua D Rubin, Joshua Rubin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist1986Cited by: 9References: 6

    One response to scarcity is to invest more effort in subsistence activities. It is also possible to respond by adjusting the level of effort in nonwork, or leisure, activities. The authors examine the concept of a "Zen road to affluence" using time-allocation data from four closely related Indian communities in central Brazil. Two of the groups live in relatively degraded environments, where yield per unit of work is lower. Total time spent worki…

    Open AccessD Gro, DANIEL R GROSS et al.ARTICLEScience1979

    Simple exposure to Western goods may not be a sufficient explanation of why isolated village communities increase their participation in external market economies. The degree of market participation by four native villages in central Brazil is related to the difficulty of making a living from slash-and-burn subsistence agriculture as measured by the ratio of labor input to food output.
