AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In addition to the blood group study, this article also contains a culture summary of the Yanoama. The authors compare the results of this Waica blood group study with data from the Warao and Yaruro. As a result of this comparison and along with linguistic and cultural data, the authors develop a hypothesis about Paleo-Americans in Venezuela.
