A View of Somatology and Serology in Micronesia

Hunt, E. E. (1950-06-01). "A View of Somatology and Serology in Micronesia". American Journal of Biological Anthropology. 8 (2): 157–184. doi:10.1002/AJPA.1330080212. ISSN 1096-8644 0002-9483, 1096-8644 .

Abstract: The review which follows describes Micronesia first as a geographic unit, together with a regional classification of its people. Their morphology in both skeletal and living series comes next, along with the theories of Hasebe (’38) on their racial history. Local differences in the distribution of the ABO blood groups in Micronesia make it possible to test Hasebe’s scheme in some detail. The physical and serological evidence is then used for delineating a possible Polynesian migration route through Micronesia. The final section of this paper deals with American somatological studies in the Trust Territory since the war, including my own, and with the possibilities for further research in the area.
