 A report cto the continuation 

 of the writer's explorations 

 along the coast and in the 

 Sierras of Peru, with a sum- 

 mary of the observations on 

 pathological conditions noted on 

 the ample and mostly pre- 

 historic skeletal material. 

 Among the more important re- 

 sults of the work are (1) a 

 definite tracing of the physical 

 type of the pre-Columbian in- 

 habitants of the coast and 

 mountains over an extensive 

 region, and (2) the defi- 

 nite determination that the 

 Chimu and the Nasca peoples 

 were physically integral parts 

 of the predominantly brachy- 

 cephalic coast population. Both 

 the Nasca and the Chimu cul- 

 tures continued to historic 

 times. The pathology of pre- 

 Columbian times shows ab- 

 sence or great scarcity of some 

 of the most important modern 

 constitutional diseases, as well 

 as some peculiar local morbid 

 conditions. Numerous ruins 

 heretofore unknown to science 

 were found. During the ex- 

 ploration no trace whatever was 

 found of geologically ancient or 

 even old prehistoric human 

 remains.

A synopsis of data relating to 



early man in South America, 



showing that there is actually 



no scientific basis for acceptance 



of the conclusion that remains 



of geologically ancient man or 



his precursors have been foimd 



on that continent.

 This paper, which was read 

 before the 18th International 

 Congress of Americanists held 

 in London, 1912, gives in con- 

 crete form historical notes and 

 the present anthropological evi- 

 dence regarding the derivation 

 of the American Indian and his 

 probable affiliation with the 

 Eastern Asiatics of early pre- 

 historic (probably early Neo- 

 lithic) times.
