"For the source of any characteristic so widespread and uniform as this adaptation to environment we must go back to the very beginning of the human race."
Beginning
"The human organism inherits so delicate an adjustment to climate that, in spite of man's boasted ability to live anywhere, the strain of the frozen North eliminates the more nervous and active types of mind."
Ability
"America is the last great goal of these migrations."
Goal
"The Indians could not undertake any widespread cultivation of the plains not only because they lacked iron tools but also because they had no draft animals."
Animals
"Surprising as it may seem, this study indicates that similar conditions are best for all sorts of races."
Diversity

Diversity

Exploration

Home
