scanty knowledge on this subject, by using more fully the material 

 which the different human families and races could afford us. 

 It is not impossible that some of the views till now held, e.g. 

 that Negroes and other low races do not differ specifically in their 

 myology from the Caucasians, and do not show more frequent 

 variations, may have to be modified. 



Anthropotomy has here a great field. On the other hand, 

 the mass of recorded observations upon muscular anomalies in 

 general is so great, and the agreement of many of these with 

 the condition normal in Apes is so marked, that the gap which 

 usually separates the muscular system of Man from that of the 

 Anthropoids appears to be completely bridged over (Testut).
