Resumen
Descripción general del contenido del recurso.
It is known that the Amerindians -which include most of the extinct and extant American Indian populations- came to America from the Northeast of Asia, passing through the Bering Strait and the Aleutian Islands. According to this model, the Amerindian populations have a basic Asian Mongoloid configuration, which was secondarily modified by local microevolutionary processes. All comparisons based in distances and/or functional components should then support the hypothesis that "the Amerindian distributions should approach in a higher degree those of the Asian populations and in a lesser degree those of the European ones". Since the Araucanians constitute a typically Amerindian population, a greater morphologic similitude with Mongoloid Asian populations and secondary affinities with non-Mongoloid groups, caused by evolutionary processes of adaptation or miscegenation, are then expected. The object of the present study is to test the validity of this model at craniofacial level. The functional anterior neural, mid neural, posterior neural, otic, optic, respiratory, masticatory, and alveolar components were measured in 48 crania belonging to well-identified European, Japanese and Araucanian collections. It was observed that: (a) the distribution ellipses given by the canonical analysis were concordant in placing the Araucanians almost equidistantly between the Japanese and the Europeans; (b) the functional components discriminated in shape by the univariate analysis were the optic, masticatory and alveolar ones for both the European-Japanese comparison and -although with inverse meaning- the Japanese-Aracanian one. Whereas, only changes in facial size characterized the European-Araucanian comparison. These results allowed us to reject the stated hypothesis. It is suggested that, besides the Holocene adaptation to hunter-gathering, the Araucanians underwent -after the Pleistocene Mongolization process- an active miscegenation with non-Mongolized Asian Paleoindian populations, the skeletons of Warm Mineral Springs, Spirit Cave, Kennewick, Lagoa Santa, Tequendama and Palli Aike being their most conspicuous examples.
