DATA OF RACE VARIATION.

In the name of physical anthropology are con-
Quoted investigations to determine what man
was physically. how he is to-day and in what
directions he is likely to develop in the future.
Such Investigations conducted, when au-
thoritative at all, by exhaustive systems OF
measurements and comparisons OF living beings
and of skulls brain spaces and skeletons. Data
thus obtained and calculations based on them
are then used to determine the average and the
range of variation In form of one race of men
and women the white race, for instance, which
In turn are placed alongside similar figures
taken from the black race. the yellow race Or
the red race, and their differences scientifically
determined.
Such measurements OF men or the present day
may then be considered in relation TO very early
remains dug up in Southern Europe, or the
skeletons and skulls of anthropoid apes. 10 find
out Just what changes have taken place since
man became man. From considerations Of this
sort when thoroughly worked out, 1t may be
possible to tell in what direction we grow
ing.
But measurements Of the structure OF present
man are also very useful in determining the
organic characteristics OF exceptionally capable
men or hyscally defective human beings. such
