From the methodological proposal of a population unit, genetic data in 93 samples, employing binary markers and microsatellites of the Y-chromosome were obtained, determining male haplogroups and haplotypes. The Q1a3a haplogroup, native of the American continent, resulted the most common in both locations (72,7% and 81,6%). The molecular lineages were compared with the registered surname diversity and the possible links between the wichi communities were analyzed through ¡°median joining¡± networks, finding a lineage variability that is reasonable given the distribution of the partialities of the ¡°wichi ethnic complex¡± proposed by Braunstein. %K Genetic heredity %K Y chromosome %K PCR %K SNP %K STR %U http://publicaciones.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/21/148
