Abstract
dc.description.abstract
The genetic composition of a group of 24 Yamana indians that survive in Puerto Williams, Navarino Island, Chile (parallel 55 south of Tierra del Fuego), was studied. Results showed that these indians have a different genetic composition than Pehuenche indians, specially for HLA system and esterase D. This fact validates the hypothesis, based on archeological and anthropological evidence, about the paleoindian origin of Yamanas.
