ORIGIN of the Nerrn Rnne

In an article on the origin Of the
negro race in The North American Re
view Sir Henry NJ Stanley held that
the cradle of this race, as of SO many
others, was in Asia, whence the negroes
migrated to Africa, in which continent
they were barred from intercourse with
the rest of the world 10y the severe and
exclusive Egyptians and by the geo
graphical barrier of the Sahara and the
Mediterranean on the north and the At
lantic and Indian oceans on the west and
east. Sir Henry cudeavored to show the
effects on the Africans Of the more than
I.OOo years of inhrceding which resulted
from this isolation of the race. The
writer said:
~ here is no need to seek for traces of
submerged continent to locate the home
of the first woolly haired negro or the
clay colored hushman aud darker pygmy.
Asia Is of sufficient amplitude. provided
we allow time enough and take into con
sideratlon it's varieties Of climate. for the
strange divergenceS in the human races
to have taken place within it, The con
tlncnt that exhibits the almond eyed Mon
golian the blue eyed Circassian, the deep
black Gondas and Bahillas, the dark
paharias. the dwarfiSh Aeta. the hook
nosed jew and the short nosed Tartar
could surely, in the very earliest ages
of man. have produced such contrasts as
the woolly haired negro and the silken
haired Aryan. But in all my travels
have seen nothing more wonderful than
this-that, in whatever disguise have
found man, something in him seems TO
justify the belief that we are all the
children of one Father"
