Natural selection and demographic transition in a Zapotec-speaking genetic isolate in the Valley of Oaxaca, southern Mexico.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Little Bertis B, Malina Robert M, Reyes Maria Eugenia Peña

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The study analyzed the potential for natural selection and the demographic transition in an isolated Amerindian population in the process of secular change in body size. SETTING: A genetically isolated, Zapotec-speaking community located in the Valley of Oaxaca, southern Mexico, has been studied regularly from the mid-1960s to 2000. Children, adolescents and young adults have experienced a recent...
