Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Physical Anthropology
The scope and object of these lectures Which are meant partially to meet the needs of beginners in the study of the science, necessarily preclude any claim to an original contribution to anthropological knowledge. The lectures are frankly based on the investigations of others. Although the plan is my own, liberal use has been made, as the footnotes and the bibliography at the end Will show, of the works of European and American scholars and investigators, to all of Whom my best acknowledgments are due.
As for the plan and arrangement of these lectures, a glance at the table of contents Will show that I have dealt With the subject from an evolutionary stand-point.
