Science. 1964 Jan 24;143(3604):367-8. doi: 10.1126/science.143.3604.367.

Abstract

In 58 percent of the Yupa Indians of Venezuela there is a slowmoving transferrin electrophoretically indistinguishable from Tf Dom, which to date, has only been found in Chinese. This finding is additional evidence for the existence of a racial link between South American Indians and Chinese.
