LONG-HEADED SKULLS FROM THE ARCTIC COAST SIMILAR TO THOSE 



FROM CAPE HORN 



Photographs of four skulls (I'ront and side views of each) to show similarity between those from 

 the extreme outskirts of New World dispersion, that is, the Cape Horn region of South America and 

 the Arctic belt of North America. The upper two are Eskimo skulls from the Arctic coast; the third 

 is from a village site on Grande Island (150 miles northwest of Cape Horn), and the last is Yahgan 

 Indian, from Cajie Horn (see map. page 6.5.5. for comjiarison in cephalic inde.\). That the New 

 World was peopled contemporaneously with the Old World is suggested by a certain parallelism exist- 

 ing between the skulls of ancient man in western Europe and skulls of American natives. The breadth 

 of face of the Cro Magnon man. for instance, suggests a New World ('liaractcr ; vague likenesses have 

 been noted between certain Pala-olithic races of Europe and the Eskimo; the two Cape Horn skulls 

 above show close relationship with the Eskimo. That we thus find these primitive men of western 

 Europe and the primitive men in the outskirts of the New World longer headed and broader faced 

 than the races massed in the centers of population is suggestive that researches in Asia may some 

 day disclose that these very early types of the two hcmisplieres came from a common stock
