Immunoglobulin Allotypes among Taiwan Aborigines
The aborigines of Taiwan represent the indigenous inhabitants of the island at the time of the arrival of the Chinese from the mainland. Linguistically, the aboriginal Taiwanese are related to the Malayo-Polynesian-speaking inhabitants of Indonesia and the Philippines. Three tribes occupied lowland areas while six tribes occupied highland areas. Previous studies indicate that genetic markers associated with malaria occur in lowland populations. T…
Genetic characterization of Gainj‐ and Kalam‐Speaking peoples of Papua New Guinea
The research presented focuses on genetic variation in the Gainj‐ and Kalam‐speaking peoples of highland Papua New Guinea. The primary data are typings at 51 genetic loci observed on 600 individuals who reside in 21 census units, called parishes. These data are augmented by cultural and demographic information that has also been collected. Parish sizes are small, ranging from 20 to about 200 individuals. Direct Western contact with these people h…
Gene flow across tribal barriers and its effect among the Amazonian Içana river Indians
Demographic information was obtained from 622 individuals of five communities of primarily Baniwa Amerindians living near the Içana river in Brazil. Four of these populations, plus another from the same area, were also studied genetically. The latter investigation included the blood and, in some cases, saliva of 531 subjects, variously tested in relation to 40 genetic systems. Demographically these groups are characterized by young age, high inte…
GM allotypes in Native Americans
We report the results of typings, for immunoglobulin G allotypes, of 5392 Native Americans from ten samples, the typings having been performed over the last 20 years. Four cultural groups are represented: the Pimans—Pima and Papago; the Puebloans—Zuni and Hopi; the Pai—Walapai; and the Athabascans—Apache and Navajo. The haplotype Gm 1;21 has the highest frequency in each population while Gm 1,2;21 is polymorphic in all except the Hopi. The Mongol…
Genetic differentiation in Dogrib Indians
Fourteen polymorphic and 24 monomorphic serum protein and erythrocyte enzyme systems were studied in Dogrib Indians living in three villages in the Northwest Territories of Canada. New information on the subtypes of Gc is provided, as is the description of a new variant at the galactose‐1‐phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) locus. Maximum European admixture in the Dogrib is 8.7%. Contingency chi‐square analysis indicates significant genetic diffe…
Migration and genetic infrastructure of the central american guaymi and their affinities with other tribal groups
New genetic data on 40 red cell enzymes, antigenic blood groups, and serum proteins representing 42 separate loci, are reported for two Guaymi communities in Southeastern Costa Rica. These two settlements, Limoncito and Abrojo, are of recent origin, having been established by Panamanian migrants in the last 50 years. Detailed data on the provenance of these migrants permits an analysis of how these settlement patterns differ from those typical of…
The St. Lawrence Island Eskimos
The Eskimos of St. Lawrence Island have been typed for genetic variation at 44 discrete genetic loci. Three private polymorphisms, at the 2,3‐diphosphoglycerate mutase, peptidase B, and purine nucleoside phosphorylase loci, have been observed, which may be useful in future studies of genetic relationships between Eskimos and other circumpolar populations. Genetic distance analysis reveals a close relationship between the St. Lawrence Island Eskim…
The Evolutionary Relationships of Two Populations
A multidisciplinary study of the Guaymi of western Panama was undertaken to confirm or disprove their apparent similarity to the Yanomama of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil, inferred from allele frequencies for six polymorphic loci studied in the Guaymi by Matson and colleagues in 1965. Gene frequencies were estimated from the present sample of 484, which is more than twice as large as the previous sample and appears to be completely indep…
The immunoglobulin allotypes (Gm and Km) of twelve Indian Tribes of Central and South America
The Gm and Km immunoglobulin allotypes are presented, for the first time, for six South American Indian tribes (Baniwa, Kanamari, Kraho, Makiritare, Panoa, and Ticuna) and one Central American tribe (Guaymi). Additional allotype information is presented for five previously reported South American tribes (Cayapo, Piaroa, Trio, Xavante and Yanomama). The distributions of the Gm and Km allotypes among all the tribal populations tested to date are re…
Intra and intertribal genetic variation within a linguistic group
A total of 562 individuals living in four villages of two Brazilian Indian tribes (Cayapo and Krahó) was studied in relation to blood groups ABO, MNSs, P, Rh, Lewis, Duffy, Kidd and Diego; haptoglobin, Gc, acid phosphatase and phosphoglucomutase types. These results were compared with those obtained previously among the Xavante, and the inhabitants of three other Cayapo villages, all of whom speak Ge languages; the ranges in gene frequencies obse…
The Northern and Southeastern Ojibwa
Two Ojibwa Indian populations in Ontario, selected to represent the Northern (Pikangikum Band) and Southeastern (Wikwemikong Band) branches of this “tribe” are compared for their serum protein and red cell enzyme systems. Albumin, haptoglobin, immunoglobins Gm and Inv, serum α‐globulin and transferrin polymorphisms are reported. The genetic markers Al Naskapi and Gc Chippewa are found in both groups, Tf D Chi in Pikangikum only. Contrary to expec…
Blood groups and H‐Le a salivary secretion of Brazilian Cayapo Indians
Five hundred and twenty‐six individuals from four populations were studied in relation to the ABO, MNSs, P, Rh, Lutheran, Kell, Lewis, Duffy, Kidd, Diego and I systems, as well as for the Wright antigen of blood groups. The H‐Le a salivary secretion of 406 of them was also investigated. Considering the gene markers which show variation in South American Indians, the Cayapo frequencies are in the middle of the distribution range for genes L Ms , R…
Blood typing studies in American Indians
The detection of exceptional Rh phenotypes (apparently (– –DE–)) among Venezuelan Yanomamo Indians initiated investigation of the reactions of anti‐C (rh′) sera with bloods of the R z phenotypes (CCDEE, CcDEE and CCDEe). It was concluded that since anti‐C reagents may contain differing amounts of two antibodies, anti‐C (rh′) and anti‐Ce (rh i ), the choice of reagent is critical for the detection of R z bloods, such that with an anti‐C serum cont…
Demography and H‐Le a salivary secretion of the Macá Indians of Paraguay
The Macá Indians living at Fray Bartolomé de las Casas show a high rate of endogamy, high mortality (36% of them die before the age of reproduction), low fertility (average of 3.6 livebirths per female who completed her reproductive performance) and low variance in family size. The index of opportunity for selection (0.88) is lower than the one obtained in other populations of agriculturalists and in industrialized communities. The frequency of H…
The influence of cultural factors on the demography and pattern of gene flow from the Makiritare to the Yanomama Indians
A single village of Yanomama Indians was found to have frequencies of Di a of 0.06 and of Ap a of 0.08, in contrast to 40 other villages where Di a was absent and Ap a quite rare. The source of these genes was identified as a village of Makiritare Indians, but the two allele frequencies were approximately the same or even higher in the Yanomama than in the Makiritare village. Demographic, social and cultural parameters affecting marriage and repr…
