THE CHANGING WORLD 



teristically tall, fair-haired, and blue-eyed, with narrow faces and 

 well-developed chins. They include Scandinavians, North Germans, 

 Netherlanders, Flemings, many English, Scotch, and Russians. 



The Yellow-Brown race is characterized usually by straight dark hair, 

 high cheek bones, apparently slanting eyes, and broad heads. They in- 

 clude the various yellow Mongolians, American Indians, Eskimos, and 

 Malays, also early inhabitants of the New World, such as the Aztecs of 

 Mexico, the Mayas of Central America, and the vanished Incas of Peru. 



Finally, the people of the Black race, with narrow heads, wide 

 noses, thick nonapelike lips, include Negroes, Pygmies, Melanesians, 

 and Polynesians. 



In the great centers of population, such as Europe and the Orient, 

 as well as in the immigrant-filled land of the United States, hybridi- 

 zation of different strains of humanity has gone so far that it has 

 become very difficult to draw racial lines of demarcation upon any 

 satisfactory biological basis. Moreover, it makes considerable dif- 

 ference who does the classifying, for it seems to be almost impossible 

 to ehminate the subjective factor of prejudice, when pride, patriotism, 

 and personal bias are involved, as they are in racial matters.
