Two communities of relatively recently contacted Brazilian Indians, the Pacaás Novos, have been studied in relation to several demographic parameters and 28 genetic systems. The age and sex distribution, fertility and mortality patterns were not very distinct in the two populations, but they differed markedly in relation to the mating, migration and genetic data (six of the 19 variable loci showed differences higher than 10%). This was interpreted as being the consequence of a fission event, one of the many that may periodically occur, sometimes followed by fusions, in populations at this cultural level. The Pacaás Novos also show some distinctive features when previous genetic studies of South American Indians are reviewed, eight alleles of the variable 19 (LMS, R2, R0, Se, Hp1, Gm1,2;21, Gc1F and PGM1(1)), presenting differences varying between 12%-34% from the average obtained considering these earlier investigations.
