MAN AND CLIMATE.-The researches OF
modern philologists have proved, by the
study of languages and their roots, that
most of the nations of modern Europe nave
descended from the same Aryan parents as
the inhabitants of the Indian peninsula.
Climate, in the course of time, has so modi-
fed them asapparently to produce different
races For such a change to take place, ge-
ological lapses oftime are certainly required.
Our earliest records, dating back several
thousand wears, show these races, such as
they are now. quite as distinct. In these
days the Aryan races of Europe cannot rear
their children in the climate of India, where
their Hindu relatives thrive and propagate
their species. In Palestine and Egypt the
Biblical records, those of the Pharaohs, and
those of Nineveh and Babylon, show these
regions to have been inhabited several
thousand years ago, by nations and tribes
presenting precisely the same race charac-
teristics as those that now inhabit them.
During the historical period, the races of
Europe have in vain endeavored to colonize
the valley of the Nile, but they have not
been able to propagate their species, and
have died away, leaving the valley of the
Nile to its ancient inhabitants. Their chill
dren cannot Withstand the heat Of summer.
On the northeastern shore Of Africa, the
Algeria of the present, history presents the
same record. The Romans and the Visi-
goths occupied its plains for centuries, con-
tinually recruiting their colonies from the
mother countries; and yet, except in the
mountains, all trace Of their presence has
disappeared They could not rear their
children 50 as to occupy the land OF the
Arabs. What heightened periods OF time
must have elapsed to so profoundly modify
races deriving their origin from common
parentage, that they can no longer live and
propagate their species in the same climates.
