Mountain pygmies of Western New Guinea: a morphological and molecular approach.

Human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Tommaseo-Ponzetta M, Mona S, Calabrese F, Konrad G, Vacca E, Attimonelli M

Abstract excerpt

The presence of "pygmy" or pygmoid groups among New Guinea populations has been the object of scientific interest since the end of the nineteenth century. Morphological and molecular data are used here to study western New Guinea population variability, focusing in particular on two pygmoid groups living in the eastern fringe highlands of Papua: the Una and the Ketengban. Various kinds of anthropometric data are...
