Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: This research examines the coevolution of languages and uniparental genetic marker (mitochondrial DNA [mtDNA] and nonrecombining Y-chromosome [NRY]) variation within five Lower Central American (Rama, Chorotega, Maléku, Zapatón-Huetar, and Abrojo-Guaymí) Amerindian groups. This pattern occurred since European contact. METHODS: We examined mtDNA sequence variation from the hypervariable region 1 (HVS-1)...
