Language lest Defective.

1t is undoubtedly true that the dia-
lects spoken throughout this area all
belong to the same language stock,
and that the people speaking these dia-
lects all have one similar physical
characteristic, /. e., color. But, as
previously mentioned in this talk, Ian
guage and color are the most imper-
manent and the least to be depended
upon of the factors to be considered
in the determination of the origin Of
particular people. They can not
therefore be considered as a sufficient
criterion of race. Now, we have pre-
viously seen that there are found three
distinct physical types in the Malay
Polynesian area, which three types re-
spectively correspond to the three
great worldwide races commonly rec
ognized by anthropologists, viz, the
Negroid, Sergi's Mediterranean Race"
and the Mongoloid. We have also OBJ
served that where these types were
mixed, in tie SO me tribe or limited
area, a very mixed culture was found.
but that in tribes or areas where one
type greatly predetermined we found
a correspondence unique cult"re tFor
instance, the licn6C is of northern Lr-
zon, and the MlGdayas. etc. OF Min

type and general culture are true cri.
terions of race, ara are tie least sub
iect to change Of all human charac-
teristics. TreyeCre, in spite OF the
uniformity Of luggage AMI color, and
from anthropo'O5 cal data alone, we
come to the ino,l' ;Gle conclusion thai
the so-called "Ma.gy Race" or MALAY
Polynesian Race is not 4 true race
at all but is blend, or mixture, in
varying proporti, MS, of the three great
races previously mentioned.
Test CT History.
Now, but one more impo"'aEt factor
remains to be investigated: That is,
How does written history bear out
the conclusions reached from our an.
thropological jata:'
In connection with this last stage
of this lecture, want to mention two
other very important recent discov-
cries. The Mendelian Laws OF Hered-
ity, as recently expanded and develop
ed, show conclusively that tho types
resulting from racial mixture follow
certain regular laws, and that the
characteristics Of the type that VIII be
produced from 4 given mixture can
he figured out with almost mathemat.
ical accuracy. These laws also show
that at regularly recurring intervals
among the descendants OF say a pure
Mongoloid man and a pure Negroid
woman, certain perfectly pure Negroid
and certain pure Mongoloid types will
be produced, while the great majority
of the descendants will be of mixed
or blend types Now, this is exactly

| will reserve the usual order of
study, by first discussing the an.
thropology of the area, and conclude
by showing how ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
historical and archaeological data bear
out the conclusions already reached
by anthropology.
A birds eye view Of the general
/, culture and physical types of the
whole area is first necessary. Piga-
fetta, Cooke and scores of other voy-
ayers have given us excellent descrip.
tons of the people as they were found
by the first Europeans, and ever since
that time explorations have been 60
ing on and data about the people has
been accommodating. | shall describe
conditions only as they were in the
original culture Of the people, and neg
lect, for the present, all indications
and changes that came about after
contact with European culture.
We will begin with Polynesia and
proceed westward, that is, in exactly
the opposite direction from that
followed by the people who settled
the oceanic islands, who came from
west to east, from one group of is
lands to the next.
Now, we have looked very briefly
at the whole of this great Malay-Poly.
nesian area. We have found many diff
ferent physical types, and We have
found cultures a. Numerically OPP
posite as the poles! That brings us
to the great question: Why is it that,
up until the last few years, scientists,
geographers and historians have indis
criminately Jumped all of these very
different peoples together under the
general term THE Malay Race" or
THE Malay Polynesian Racer" The
answer TO this notwithstanding the
Papuans and Negritos from the reck-
oning-is found in the following facts:
First, all of the peoples of this great
area are similar in color, that is, vary
ing shades of brown; second, they are
alike in the wearing of scanty cloth
ing, and mostly live in very similar
climate which two facts really ac-
count for their uniformity of color;
third, very important, they are all in
a very similar stage of culture, Cor
civilization, and are mostly believers
in pagan religions; fourth, the area
occupied by them in continuous,
stretching through the Indian and Pa
cific oceans from the east coast OF
Africa to the west coast of South
America; and, ffth-perhaps the most
important fact of all-they all speak
languages belonging to the same stock

the condition of affairs that we have
found all through the Malay-Poly-
nesian area, and these laws therefore
add another important proof to our
previous conclusion.
The recent archaeological and geo
logical discoveries in Central Asia
have an important bearing on our his,
torical factor, and must also be dis.
cussed. (Mongolian invasions west,
