South American Indians: A Case Study in Evolution (Research Monographs on Human Population Biology)

By Francisco M. Salzano and Sidia M. Callegari-Jacques

From the point of view of population biology, South American Indians represent an important case-study in human evolution. For the first time this book brings together observations of this group from a variety of perspectives, with an emphasis on the analysis of genetic variability. Authors describe the extensive gene frequency data available and their detailed univariate and multivariate analyses. Each chapter opens with a brief evaluation of the field of enquiry. Extensive bibliographies and a list of unsettled issues are included, making this the most complete reference available on this fascinating population.
