Importance of anthropological genetics research in Honduras, Central America
With its unique geographic location at the northern end of the Central American isthmus, Honduras straddles the boundaries of two distinct cultural regions-the Mesoamerican and the Istmo-Colombian. In this context, we briefly discuss the progress of population genetics studies conducted within Honduras. The text underscores the importance of conducting fieldwork to improve our understanding of the genetic history, population dynamics, and emergen…
Population History and Mitochondrial Genetic Substructure of the Rama Amerindians from Nicaragua
The Rama are a coastal population from southern Nicaragua who in large part were able to resist, at least for a time, the cultural changes and social reorganization brought on by colonial and modern influences. Historical information leaves the Rama origins and biological relationships with nearby extinct and extant groups ambiguous. The objective of this study was to examine the internal genetic microdifferentiation based on the first hypervaria…
Effect of Recent Historical Events on Migration and Isonymic Stratification among the Rama Amerindians from Nicaragua
The Rama Amerindians from southern Nicaragua are one of few indigenous populations inhabiting the east coast and lowlands of southern Central America. Early-eighteenth-century ethnohistorical accounts depicted the Rama as a mobile hunter-gatherer and horticulturalist group dispersed in household units along southern Nicaraguan rivers. However, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Rama settlement patterns changed to aggregated communitie…
Microevolution, migration, and the population structure of five Amerindian populations from Nicaragua and Costa Rica
OBJECTIVE: This research examines the coevolution of languages and uniparental genetic marker (mitochondrial DNA [mtDNA] and nonrecombining Y-chromosome [NRY]) variation within five Lower Central American (Rama, Chorotega, Maléku, Zapatón-Huetar, and Abrojo-Guaymí) Amerindian groups. This pattern occurred since European contact. METHODS: We examined mtDNA sequence variation from the hypervariable region 1 (HVS-1) and NRY genetic variation using s…
