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)

    Happy will that house be in which the relations are formed from character; after the highest, and not after the lowest order; the house in which character marries, and not confusion and a miscellany of unavowable motives.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
