He insisted to his colleagues that they were only there to observe and record the epidemic, and that they must stick strictly to their roles as scientists, not provide medical help". | The accusations are directed primarily against James Neel, a physician and a founder of modern medical genetics (now dead), and Napoleon Chagnon, perhaps the world's most famous living social anthropologist. | ||

Hall Subject: FWD: Yanomamo experimentation | text of an open letter to the president and president-elect of the American Anthropological Association, in regard to possible experimentation (perhaps to test certain sociobiological theories) on the Yanomamo of Brazil.

| Oct.24,2000 | Jungle Fever Did two U.S. scientists start a genocidal epidemic in the Amazon, or was The New Yorker duped? | Tierney's claim that an immunization program can start an epidemic has been carried around the world in media reports.

| Patrick Tierney's essay, The Fierce Anthropologist | Because Susan Lindee's biography of Jim was so full of errors, he wrote a book on his scientific career - to set the record straight, (Physician to the Gene Pool, Wiley, 1994, 457 pp.). In it he gives an account of the measles epidemic which he fought, not caused, by vaccinating the Yanomami (see enclosure).
