	The Yanomamo People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The remarkable thing about the tribe, known as the Yanomamo, is the fact that they have managed, due to their isolation in a remote corner of Amazonia, to retain their native pattern of warfare and political integrity without interference from the outside world.
		For the Yanomamo, a large stream is an obstacle and can only be crossed in the dry season.
		The Yanomamo are still conducting inter-village warfare, a phenomenon that affect all aspects of their social organization, settlement pattern, and daily routines.

		This is evidence that trekking is an adaptive response to the Yanomamo’s inland rainforest environment.

	Yanomano Kin Terms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Yanomamo kin terms conform to the Iroquois classificatory pattern, which is consistent with other features of their social structure, including an emphasis on unilineal (patrilineal) descent and bilateral cross cousin marriage.
		The distinction between different kinds of cousins reflects this division between descent lines but also marks a second important difference: parallel cousins, like brothers and sisters, are prohibited from marrying; cross cousins are not and may very often be chosen as preferential marriage partners within a cross cousin marriage system.
		A comparison between Yanomamo and English terms (as per a male ego addressing a male relative) is provided below.

	3B Soft - Store - The Yanomamo
		For example, we are not told that the Yanomamo have for decades now been willingly seeking and embracing different methods of conflict resolution - rather than killing each other, resolving issues like who "owns" a woman by negotiation rather than by killing those who disagree with you.
		Many of these constructive and helpful developments, which the yanomamo have embraced of their own free choice (having had a gut-full of the alternative) were introduced by well-meaning missionaries, and yet it seems the anthropologists want the yanomamo to stay frozen in time and keep killing each other.
		The author's depiction of the Yanomamo as warlike and fierce is argued as overdone and jeapardizing of the wellbeing of the Yanomamo.

		"Yanomamo: The Science." For 25 years, anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon, of the University of California at Santa Barbara, studied the Yanomamo Indians who live in the Amazon rain forest near the border of Venezuela and Brazil.
		Thirty percent of Yanomamo males die violently, and almost half of the males over the age of 25 have participated in a killing.
		According to certain Brazilian anthropologists, Chagnon's depiction of the Yanomamo as a fierce, violent people plays into the hands of the mining companies that seek to exploit their territory.

	Yanomamo Interactive CD-ROM Introduction
		Chagnon agreed and, drawing on his extensive demographic, genealogical, and settlement pattern database on the Yanomamo, added a considerable amount of new information that was not available to Asch, Biella, and Seaman.
		The final product, Yanomamo Interactive: The Ax Fight, contains a wealth of new ethnographic and other data and promises to be a novel and exiciting tool for the teaching of undergraduate and graduate anthropology and also for anthropological research.
		The interactive CD ROM can be purchased separately or as part of a packaged kit that contains either Chagnon's Case Study on the Yanomamo or one of William Haviland's introductory textbooks (the 4-fields text or the cultural anthropology text).

	Venezuelan Response to Yanomamo Book -- Bosh et al. 291 (5506): 985 -- Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		For all of us who collaborated with and learned from Roche in the 1950s and 1960s, it is offensive to read descriptions that imply he was a poorly trained or careless local doctor (he received his medical degree at The Johns Hopkins University and pursued medical research as a Fellow at Harvard Medical School).
		Tierney argues that a deadly outbreak of measles in the Yanomamo in 1968 originated with the Edmonston B vaccine, which was administered by Roche and others according to a protocol designed by James Neel.
		It was the only weapon available to Roche in the field to fight the epidemic outbreak of the disease (live vaccines, which are prepared with attenuated pathogens, cannot produce a transmissible disease, although they are able to induce defenses against it).

	NR Comment on NRO
		Previously, Tierney claimed that in 1968 a group of researchers led by the University of Michigan's James Neel and including the renowned anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon had gone into the jungle with the purpose of infecting the Yanomamo with the deadly measles virus in order to test their social-Darwinist ideas.
		Tierney's shocking claim rests on the fact that the scientists carried with them a live-virus measles vaccine known as Edmonston B. Tierney says the vaccine didn't inoculate the Yanomamo, an immune-depressed population, but instead caused a measles outbreak that killed hundreds or thousands of people.
		Tierney's whole theory of this particular measles outbreak among the Yanomamo rests on the notion that it happened there, in the remote rainforest, for apparently the first time in recorded history.

	In The Issue
		Furthermore, "Chagnon's pronouncements about the intrinsic violence of the Yanomamo has actively hurt them." Turner complains that politicians and businessmen who want to exploit the Yanomamo homelands for their rich gold deposits use Chagnon's work to demonize the tribe for standing in their way.
		In 1994, he labeled Chagnon "a sociopath" for statements that he believed were politically harmful to the Yanomamo, and he denounced Chagnon before a crowded room at the American Anthropological Association's annual convention.
		Because only the fittest Yanomamo would survive, Neel speculated that tribe members were of a genetically superior stock.

		Still, Yanomamo is far more than an ethnographic thriller depicting a tribal people in southern Venezuela.
		Chagnon describes in detail the Yanomamos' seemingly exotic practices--the rule that a tribesman should marry his classificatory cross-cousin, or the abduction of women that invariably sparks a war, or a chest-pounding duel at any feast that might prevent an all-out battle from breaking out amid the festivities.
		Indeed, Yanomamo is among the most widely adopted ethnographies at the college freshman level.

		Lindee found his notes and papers from the 1968 trip in a file marked "Yanomama-1968-insurance." Lindee suspects that Neel learned of Tierney's research before his death in February of this year.
		Much of the rest of the work is spent explaining the intricacies of Yanomami warfare, from raiding to wife-beating to ax duels.
		In Chagnon's formulation, Yanomami culture pivots on the focal point of respect, which is had by threats and, when necessary, violence: "The fact that the Yanomamo live in a chronic state of warfare is reflected in their mythology, ceremonies, settlement pattern, political behavior, and marriage practices."
