The Races of Man: An Outline of Anthropology and Ethnography

An overview of anthropology and ethnography that surveys human physical variation and methods for measuring and classifying populations; it treats somatic characters (stature, skin and hair, cranial and skeletal measurements), physiological and psychological traits, and discusses language, social organization, material culture (dwellings, clothing, tools, foodways), and artistic and ritual expressions. The author explains methodological questions about species and racial terminology, presents bibliographical notes, illustrations and maps, and appends comparative anthropometric tables to aid further study.
