The Black Caribs (Garifuna) of Livingston, Guatemala: Genetic Markers and Admixture Estimates
(Wayne State University Press, 1981-02)The Black Caribs (Garifuna) are descendants of West African and Amerindian groups from St. Vincent Island who were transplanted to the coast of Central America in 1797. The founding population, estimated at 2,500 to 5,000 ... -
A Comparison of Mortality Patterns in Human Populations Residing Under Diverse Ecological Conditions: A Time Series Analysis
(Wayne State University Press, 1983-02)During the last century, a number of epidemics have swept across the world causing similar mortality peaks in diverse human populations. In particular, the effects of the influenza epidemic of 1918 can be seen in urban and ... -
Changes in Completed Family Size and Reproductive Span in Anabaptist Populations
(Wayne State University Press, 1989-02)The Anabaptist Amish, Hutterite and Mennonite peoples trace their origins to the Reformation. Although they share certain beliefs, such as adult baptism and the separation of church and state, each group is culturally ... -
The State, International Agencies, and Property Transformation in Postcomimmist Hungary
(University of Chicago Press, 2002-07)This article challenges evolutionary accounts of property transformation in postcommunist Hungary, which hold that novel property forms based on interenterprise ownership have emerged in that country. It shows that ... -

Genetic Determinants of Blood Pressure Level Among the Black Caribs of St. Vincent
(Wayne State University Press, 1981-09)The Black Caribs of St. Vincent Island are a mixture of African, Arawak, and Carib (Venezuela) ancestry. The biological consequences of this tri-ethnic admixture in relation to blood pressure level was investigated in a ... -
PTC Taste Threshold Distributions and Age in Mennonite Populations
(Wayne State University Press, 1982-09)A number of studies report an impairment of the genetically inherited ability to taste PTC as a function of age, but ignore the cumulative effect of smoking on taste deterioration. This study examines the effect of aging ... -
Neuromuscular Performance in a Kansas Mennonite Community: Age and Sex Effects in Performance
(Wayne State University Press, 1985-05)The effects of age and sex on six neuromuscular performance traits are studied in a cross-sectional sample of 559 members of the Goessel, Kansas Mennonite community. Age and sex effects are assessed by stepwise polynomial ... -

Genetic Structure of Mennonite Populations of Kansas and Nebraska
(Wayne State University Press, 1989-08)We describe the gene frequency distributions for 29 different blood group, serum, and erythrocytic proteins for three Mennonite communities from Kansas and Nebraska and compare their gene frequencies with those of Amish, ... -

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 ... -

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 ... -

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 ...
