A report on 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 Nasea 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 found 
on that continent.

This paper, which was read 
before the 18th International 
Congress of Americanists held 
in London, 1912, gives in con- 
erete 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.
