Oetteking, Bruno, Anthropomorphologische Beziehungen zwischen der Oster- 

 insel und America. Eugen Fischer Festband, Zeitschr. Morphol. und An- 

 throp., vol. 34, pp. 303-313, 1934- 



The author points to the resemblances between a skull from Easter 

 Island and some of those of California and Texas, but draws from this 

 no unwarrantable conclusions. He accepts the opinion that some contacts 

 between the Pacific Islanders and the American continent had been realized, 

 but as to their time, magnitude, and nature, states that all is still problem- 

 atical. He comments on the improbability of any very ancient or extensive 

 comings; America must have been well peopled before any Pacific accretions 

 could have reached it. A justified objection concerns Oetteking's assumption 

 that similarity of cranial and especially vault type means the same deriva- 

 tion ; it may not, in fact, mean even a close racial relation.
