Microevolution of human archaic groups of Arica, northern Chile, and its genetic contribution to populations from the Formative Period

The microevolution of the archaic populations from Chile's northern coast and its morphological contribution to Formative period groups was studied. The sample comprised 181 individuals belonging to two Archaic (Morro-Uhle and Morro 1-1/6) and one Formative (Playa Miller-7 [Plm-7]) series of th...
