Two faces of earnest A. Hooton
The American Anthropological Association's multimedia project, “Race: Are We So Different?” alleges that Earnest A. Hooton (1887–1954) of Harvard University was a racist eugenicist who “perhaps more than any other scientist of his time... did more to establish racial stereotypes...” and infers racism from his having sat on a National Research Council Committee on the Negro in the 1920s. I take issue with this perspective to argue against Hooton a…

A multivariate approach to fingerprint variation in Papua New Guinea: Perspectives on the evolutionary stability of dermatoglyphic markers
In the Markham Valley of Papua New Guinea, multivariate graphical displays of serological, anthropometric, and dermatoglyphic population structures are compared pursuant to the hypothesis that fingerprints have a slower velocity of evolutionary change and, therefore, are preferable biological markers for prehistorical reconstructions. Samples from nine villages, which represent three geographical and linguistic populations, are plotted in two dim…
A multivariate approach to fingerprint variation in Papua New Guinea: Implications for prehistory
Fingerprint data from three Markham Valley populations of Papua New Guinea are presented. Initial comparisons with data from elsewhere in New Guinea by conventional bivariate methods suggest hypotheses regarding prehistory, but these methods are inconclusive. Because of this shortcoming, the application of discriminant analysis to dermatoglyphic data is justified and cautiously demonstrated. Discriminant analysis is a valid approach to the parsim…

Genetic studies in the Markham Valley, northeastern Papua New Guinea: Gamma globulin (Gm and Inv), group specific component (Gc) and ceruloplasmin (Cp) typing
Genetic studies in the Markham Valley, northeastern Papua New Guinea: Gamma globulin (Gm and Inv), group specific component (Gc) and ceruloplasmin (Cp) typing. M. S. Schanfield, Eugene Giles and H. Gershowitz, Department of Human Genetics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104. Immunoglobulin allotyping was carried out on 680 serum samples from inhabitants of the Markham Valley, Papua New Guinea (seven villages speaking the same Melan…

Morphological variation and heritability in three Melanesian populations: A multivariate approach
In two previous papers Giles, Walsh and Bradley ('66) and Giles, Wyber and Walsh ('70) have shown that the inhabitants of three adjacent villages on the edge of the Markham Valley in New Guinea have significant heterogeneity in all blood group frequencies tested. The language, environment, culture, and ancestry of these people are essentially identical. The differences in the blood group frequencies were attributed to genetic drift and particular…

The distribution of haptoglobin and transferrin types in northeast New Guinea
This paper reports haptoglobin testing of 2,029 serum specimens and transferrin typing of 1,911 specimens obtained from villages representing a wide range of environments and cultures in the Markham River Valley region of northeast New Guinea. The haptoglobin gene frequencies ranged from 90.0% to 61.4% for Hp 1 and the frequency of the transferring gene Tf c ranged from 94.9% to 71.5%. Other transferrin genes present were Tf D1 and, in low freque…
Hydrogen cyanide and phenylthiocarbamide sensitivity, mid‐phalangeal hair and color blindness in Yucatán, Mexico
Approximately 1450 persons, 800 of them unrelated, of both sexes from age eigth upward from the town of Ticul, Yucatán, Mexico, formed an American Indian (Maya) sample with apparently little Caucasian admixture for four genetic tests: ability to taste PTC and smell HCN, presence of mid‐phalangeal hair, and color blindness. A modified PTC sorting test indicated a nontaster allele ( t ) frequency of 0.29 in Ticul, a relatively high result for Ameri…

Distribution of β‐thalassemia trait and erythrocyte glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in the Markham river valley of New Guinea
Ten villages in or near the Markham Valley, northeastern New Guinea, have provided a sample of 476 males for the ascertainment of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and 810 individuals of both sexes for the investigation of the β‐thalassemia trait. An extreme heterogeneity was found in the prevalence of both traits when the villages were analyzed separately (from 1.5% to 18.2% demonstrating G6PD deficiency and from 0 to 22.8% evi…
Statistical techniques for sex and race determination. Some comments in defense
A recent critique (Birkby, '66) of the multivariate discriminant function approach to determination of sex and race from skeletal material is examined from the point of view of the new evidence put forward by Birkby and the ultimate validity and use of such statistical techniques in human osteology
