Analysis of nine characteristics on 1,205 males and 932 females from 12 tribes or groups of tribes indicated a poor relationship between morphology and language, as well as moderate agreement with the variability expected considering geography only. Two samples in the Xingu area studied during an interval of half a century (1897-1947) showed remarkable similarity. The conformity of the Caingang morphology with those of other tribes and the distinctiveness of the Xavante and Tenetehara has been amply confirmed.
对来自12个部落或部落群体的1205名男性和932名女性的九个特征进行分析后发现,形态学与语言之间的关系不大,并且与仅考虑地理因素时预期的变异性有适度的一致性。在半个世纪(1897 - 1947年)的时间间隔内对欣古地区的两个样本进行研究,结果显示出显著的相似性。凯因冈人的形态与其他部落的形态相符,而沙万特人和特内特哈拉人的独特性也得到了充分证实。
