Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to summarize the studies carried out in the field
of physical anthropology in South America. The primary aspects of the study of
physical anthropology are to establish, from a morphological point of view, the
similarities and/or differences between populations of a particular geographic region
(Munizaga 1980:124). The principle method of accomplishment is based on the
comparative study of skeletal size and shape; in South America the most important
analysis is that of the skull (Munizaga 1980:124).
