hhdli.ka] ORIGIN AND ANTIQUITY OF THE ESKIMO 347 



Boas, 1910 : 90 "There is little doubt that the Eskimos, whose life 

 as sea hunters has left a deep impression upon all of their doings, 

 must probably be classed with the same group of peoples. The 

 much-discussed theory of the Asiatic origin of the Eskimos must be 

 entirely abandoned. The investigations of the Jesup North Pacific 

 Expedition, which it was my privilege to conduct, seem to show that 

 the Eskimos must be considered as, comparatively speaking, new 

 arrivals in Alaska, which they reached coming from the east." 



Clark Wissler, 1917. 91 Page 363: ''The New World received a 

 detachment of early Mongoloid peoples at a time when the main 

 body had barely developed stone polishing." 



Pages 361-302: "Our review of New World somatic characters 

 revealed the essential unity of the Indian population. It is also 

 clear that there are affinities with the Mongoloid peoples of Asia. 

 Hence, we are justified in assuming a common ancestral group for 

 the whole Mongoloid-Red stream of humanity. We have already 

 outlined the reasons for assuming the pristine home of this group to 

 be in Asia." 



Page 335 : " For example, the Eskimos, whose first appearance in 

 the New World must have been in Alaska, spread only along the 

 Arctic coast belt to its ultimate limits." 



1918 92 . Page 161 : " The most acceptable theory of Eskimo origin 

 is that they expanded from a parent group in the Arctic Achipelago." 



L922." Pages 368, 396, 398: Identical in every word again with 

 that of 1917.

Dawkins. 1866 : 94 "The sum of the evidence proves that man, in a 

 hunter state, lived in the south of Gaul on reindeer, musk sheep, 

 horses, oxen, and the like, at a time when the climate was similar to 

 that which those animals now inhabit. To what race did he belong? 

 In solving this the zoological evidence is of great importance. The 

 reindeer and musk sheep now inhabit the northern part of the 

 American Continent and are the principal land animals that supply 

 the Esquimaux with food. The latter of these has departed from 

 the Asiatic Continent, leaving remains behind to prove that it shared 

 the higher northern latitudes of Asia with the reindeer, and this
