This book presents a human population biology study of South American Indians. They are a useful source to study, both in their own right and as representing an important case-study in human evolution. In this work, results obtained in a wide variety of different disciplines have been brought together for the first time. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of genetic variability, and the evolutionary inferences that can be made considering this variation.

This book presents a human population biology study of South American Indians. They are a useful source to study, both in their own right and as representing an important case-study in human evolution. In this work, results obtained in a wide variety of different disciplines have been brought together for the first time. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of genetic variability, and the evolutionary inferences that can be made considering this variation. One-third of the book describes the extensive gene-frequency data available for South American Indian populations, which were submitted to detailed univariate and multivariate analyses. Each chapter opens with a brief evaluation of the field of enquiry to be covered. A synthesis is presented together with a list of unsettled issues, and an extensive bibliography is provided.
