摘要:
In late Neolithic times a homogeneous dolichocephalic race inhabited England and Scotland. The Bronze Age population included 3 elements: (1) a predominant brachy-cephalic type, (2) the Neolithic type, (3) hybrids between (1) and (2). The Iron Age population was homogeneous and intermediate. In England the late Celtic culture is not associated with a brachycephalic type. The Anglo-Saxon skulls show no evidence of differentiation into Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. They differ from the Iron Age type mainly in height. Anglo-Saxon type contours are given.
