AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of genetic relationships among the Rapa Nui people utilizing a measure of consanguinity based on the surnames couples found in marriage records; surnames identified with the clan structure and geography of the island. The Rapa Nui had strict marriage regulations prohibiting marriage to first and second cousins and complex marital exchange rules between clans. A tendency towards genetic heterogeneity is indicated, continued in the colonial era with marrying into the new immigrant groups.
