| Abstract: | This study presents mitochondrial data from 55 unrelated individuals from two Ecuadorian Shuar communities: Kumbatza and Yukateis. Maternal linage was determined by analyzing the two mtDNA hypervariable regions: HRVI and HRVII. It was shown that the Shuar population exhibited the haplogroup B. This demonstrates that Shuar group is a conserved population with no mixing with the European and African diaspora populations. |
