Genetic Relations
Kalapuyan is usually connected with the various Penutian proposals. Kalapuyan is thought to be part of an Oregon Penutian sub-group (along with Takelma, Siuslaw, and Coosan). A special relationship with Takelma has been proposed, together forming a Takelman family; however, recent research has offered counterevidence against this relationship. Scholars consider the Kalapuyan family to be separate, but with promising connections to the Penutian hypothesis.

Famous quotes containing the words genetic and/or relations:
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
“If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure—the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
