The genetic structure of a tribal population, the Yanomama Indians. 1. Introduction.

The Yanomama Indians are a South American tribe distributed over an irregular area approximately 200 X 300 miles. The gene frequencies observed at 12 loci in 47 villages within this area have been analyzed for the occurrence of clines. Apparently significant clines are observed for alleles of the Rh, MNSs, Kidd, Gm, Inv and serum albumin system. Available data concerning recent tribal expansion...

The Genetic Structure of a Tribal Population,

The Yanomama Indians are a South American tribe distributed over an irregular area approximately 200 x 330 miles. The gene frequencies observed at 12 loci in 47 villages within this area have bpen analyzed for the occurrence of clines. Apparently significant clines are observed for alleles of the Rh, MNSs, Kidd, Gm, Inv and serum albumin system. Available data concerning recent tribal expansion...

The genetic structure of a tribal population, the Yanomama Indians. XV. Patterns inferred by autocorrelation analysis.

Fifteen allele frequencies have previously been determined for 50 villages of the Yanomama, an Amerindian tribe from southern Venezuela and northern Brazil. These frequencies were subjected to spatial autocorrelation analysis to investigate their population structure. There are significant spatial patterns for most allele frequencies. Clinical patterns, investigated by one-dimensional and direc...

The genetic structure of a tribal population, the Yanomama Indians. XII. Biodemographic studies.

The Yyanomama Indians of Southern Venezuela and Northern Brazil are one of the largest, relatively unacculturated tribes of the tropical rain forest. Over a period of eight years data have been collected from a considerable portion of their territory on estimated age, sex ratio, fertility rates (as determined by physical examination and urine tests), and infant death rates. Although it has been...
