摘要:
The material discussed consists of 850 [male] Eskimo skulls measured by Furst and Hansen and Hrdlika. They relate to populations extending from the extreme north-east of Asia to Greenland. Seven regional groups are distinguished and the coefficients of racial likeness between them are given. Four are found to be closely related to one another, while the Greenland and an early Alaskan series diverges from these in one direction and a Western Alaskan series diverges from them in another direction. Comparison with 26 Asiatic series of skulls reveals only one close connection, viz. between the Western Eskimo and a bhukchi series. The variabilities of the Eskimo series are discussed.
