412 Some Racial Peculiarities of the Negro Brain 
2. The Negro brain can be distinguished from the Caucasian with 
a varying degree of accuracy according to the amount of admixture 
of white blood.

3. ‘The area of the cross section of the corpus callosum varies with 
the brain weight. However, in the Negro its anterior half is relatively 
smaller than in the Caucasian, to correspond with the smaller anterior 
association center ; the genu is relatively larger and the splenium relatively 
smaller. 
4. From the deduced difference between the functions of the anterior 
and posterior association centers and from the known characteristics of 
the two races the conclusion is that the Negro is more objective and the 
Caucasian more subjective. The Negro has the lower mental faculties 
(smell, sight, handicraftsmanship, body-sense, melody) well developed. 
the Caucasian the higher (self-control, will power, ethical and esthetic 
senses and reason).
