		It is even more difficult to imagine that an American academic, born and raised in Pennsylvania, was able to live with the Yanomama for the better part of 12 years, learn their non-written language, adapt to their vastly-different customs, and marry a Yanomama wife.
		Along the way, he had a bitter falling-out with Chagnon (who believed the Yanomama were a ruthless and violent people); contracted malaria and suffered recurring bouts with the disease, and eventually even had a Yano- mama wife bequeathed to him.
		In the world of the Yanomama, if the husband does not protect his wife from other men, she can be stolen away or raped.

		But the Yanomama, who were untouched by the outside world for centuries, are being forced to confront modern civilization.
		His wife, Yarima, is the only member of the tribe to leave permanently for the "outside world." That's partly why Good is eager to discuss the survival of the Indian tribe, both in its harsh environment and in the face of encroaching Western civilization.
		While the Yanomama can be fierce fighters, and raids on neighboring tribes are not uncommon, Good said his wife in America "is astounded on a daily basis by what human beings are capable of doing to each other."

	Science - Ethics - Power, Turner statement regarding eugenics
		He notes that it is out of the question "to engineer an early return to Yanomama population structure" (my italics), implying that perhaps in the evolutionary long run it might be possible (and would clearly be desirable) to do so.
		This would mean, as he explains, the reorganization of society under the political control of a "generally acknowledged headman of superior attributes [who would] enjoy a well-defined reproductive advantage" (i.e., a polygamous harem), which he would of course enjoy in "twentieth century comfort".
		Neel's notion is also clearly loaded in favor of the male gender: Neel asserts at one point that females may also have high IIA levels, but it is not clear that for them this has any social consequences, as it supposedly does for males.

	Into the Heart by Kenneth Good, A Reading for Enjoyment Review by Bobby Matherne
		With some language ability under his belt, he moved into the shapono to become an integral part of the community, which he decided would be a requirement for him to complete his close-up study of their family life.
		One of the Yanomama girls grew up over the eight years he studied the village life and he finds himself accepting a betrothal to her, a year or so from her onset of menses.
		By the middle of the book, the Yanomama had moved into Ken's heart and he was deeply in love with Yarima, his wife.

	Among the Yanomama - Clay Robarchek
		Good came to Venezuelan rain forest as a member of an anthropological research team.
		He planned to stay for fifteen months collecting data for his Ph.D. dissertation, data that the project's organizer hoped would silence critics of his explanation for the violent way of life of the Yanomama Indians.
		What Good found was another world, a society whose assumptions and expectations were radically at odds with his own.

		This is "an autobiographical account by an American anthropologist, Kenneth Good, of his experiences in a Yanomama community on the upper Orinoco.
		The central thread of the book is the love story involving himself and Yarima,a girl some twenty years his junior.
		{He also} argues that the main difference between Yanomama society and ours is simply that they live their lives in public." (Times Lit Suppl) Index.

	Native American Indian Cultures - the Yanomamo Indians
		Sixty two percent of Yanomami tested positive for new strains of malaria introduced by garimpeiros (gold miners) which have brought every conceivable disease known to modern man, from the common cold (Yanomami have no immunity to combat our most common ailment) right up to and including AIDS.
		The Yanomamo (Yah-no-mah-muh) also called Yanomami, and Yanomama, are deep jungle Indians living in the Amazon basin in both Venezuela and Brazil.
		The Yanomami are believed to be the most primitive, culturally intact people in existence in the world.

		They estimated that the people they tested took peyote up to 35 times a year and had been doing so for essentially all of their lives.
		Another study, among the Yanomama Indians of Venezuela (Bloom et al (1970) _Proc Natl Acad Sci USA_ 66:920-927), found no difference in chromosomal damage between males and females despite the fact that only males ingested peyote.
		Admittedly, I can think of no studies which evaluate how carcinogenic mescaline is, for example.
