Efficacy of a Composite Biological Age Score to Predict Ten-Year Survival among Kansas and Nebraska Mennonites
(Wayne State University Press, 1994-02)In 1980 and 1981 Mennonite descendants of a group of Russian immigrants participated in a multidisciplinary study of biological aging. The Mennonites live in Goessel, Kansas, and Henderson, Nebraska. In 1991 the survival ... -
Population Structure of the Chenchu and Other South Indian Tribal Groups: Relationships between Genetic, Anthropometric, Dermatoglyphic, Geographic, and Linguistic Distances
(Wayne State University Press, 1994-10)We describe the genetic structure and interrelationships of nine south Indian tribal groups (seven from Andhra Pradesh and two from the adjoining states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala) using seven polymorphic loci (ABO, MN, RH, ... -
VNTR DNA Variation in Siberian Indigenous Populations
(Wayne State University Press, 1995-04)The VNTR loci D7S104, D11S129, D18S17, D20S15, and D21S112 in three indigenous Siberian populations were analyzed to determine the populations' genetic structure. Using the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test, we found that the ... -
Obituary: Marshall T. Newman (1911-1994)
(Wayne State University Press, 1995-10-01)There is no abstract available for this article. -
The Population Structure of Ten Newfoundland Outports
(Wayne State University Press, 2000-12)Island populations are most informative in the study of the genetic structure of human aggregates. These populations are often of small size, thus violating the Hardy-Weinberg assumption of infinite size. Some geographically ... -
Digital Dermatoglyphic Patterns of Eskimo and Amerindian Populations: Relationships between Geographic, Dermatoglyphic, Genetic, and Linguistic Distances
(Wayne State University Press, 1992-10)Dermatoglyphic traits have been used to assess population affinities and structure. Here, we describe the digital patterns of four Eskimo populations from Alaska: two Yupik-speaking villages from St. Lawrence Island and ... -
When Two Worlds Collide

Surname Repetition and Isonymy in Northeastern Hungarian Marriages
(Wayne State University Press, 1990-08)The repeated-pair (RP) approach to surnames in married couples is a measure of population subdivision resulting from the influence of lineagelike behavior in mate choice. An excess of RP over random RP implies limitations ... -
Immunoglobulin Haplotypes: Markers of Reproductive Success?
(Wayne State University Press, 1990-08)Immunoglobulin haplotypes are highly polymorphic and are useful for analyses of both macro-and microdifferentiation of populations. The origins of this diversity are not known, but recent reports suggest strong selection ... -
Immunoglobulin Allotypes in Several North American Eskimo Populations
(Wayne State University Press, 1990-12)Genetic data consisting of immunoglobulin testing (GM and KM) from 631 Eskimos from 5 populations are reported. These populations are Savoonga, Gambell (St. Lawrence Island), Wales, King Island, and Mckenzie Delta, Baffin ... -
Biochemical Heterozygosity and Morphological Variability: Interpopulational versus Intrapopulational Analyses
(Wayne State University Press, 1990-02)The literature is replete with articles suggesting the existence of a relationship between variability at biochemical loci and morphological variation in various animal populations, including humans. With few exceptions ... -
Demographic structure of a transplanted Tlaxcalan population in the Valley of Mexico
(Wayne State University Press, 1975-01-05)This research explores the evolutionary consequences of the transplantation and subsequent demographic adaptation of Cuanalan, a migrant population in the Valley of Mexico. Through comparisons with historical and ... -
Introduction to some aspects of acculturation on Okinawa
(University of Washington, 1957)That any cultural system is in a continuous state of change is a valid assumption. This change can be induced by internal forces, but more often culture change is a result of contact of one autonomous cultural system with ... -

mtDNA Variation in Caste Populations of Andhra Pradesh, India.
(Wayne State University Press, 1996)Various anthropological analyses have documented extensive regional variation among populations on the subcontinent of India using morphological, protein, blood group, and nuclear DNA polymorphisms. These patterns are the ... -
Ecology of Weaning among Nomadic Turkana Pastoralists of Kenya: Maternal Thinking, Maternal Behavior, and Human Adaptive Strategies
(Wayne State University Press, 1996)Weaning of human children is a complex process involving the introduction of non-breast-milk foods, reduction in suckling activity, and eventual termination of breast feeding. Because the choice of strategies for each ... -
Population Distributions of APOE, APOH, and APOA4 Polymorphisms and Their Relationships with Quantitative Plasma Lipid Levels among the Evenki Herders of Siberia
(Wayne State University Press, 1999-04)Island populations are most informative in the study of the genetic structure of human aggregates. These populations are often of small size, thus violating the Hardy-Weinberg assumption of infinite size. Some geographically ... -
