liKDi.irKAj ORIGIN AND ANTIQUITY OF THE ESKIMO 351 



" Our only reason for any feeling of surprise is, not that Clian- 

 celade man should prove a close relation of the Eskimo, but that 

 so far he is the only fossil example of his kind of which we have any 

 certain knowledge." 



OPPOSED TO EUROPEAN' 



Rae, 1887 : 5 " The typical Eskimo is one of the most specialized 

 of the human race, as far as cranial and facial characters are con- 

 cerned, and such scanty remains as have yet been discovered of the 

 prehistoric inhabitants of Europe present no structural affinities with 

 him." 



Laloy, 1808:" " Cette theorie est absolument contredite par les 

 faits." (That is, the theory of the identity of the Eskimo with the 

 European upper palaeolithic man.) 



Dechelette. 1908 : 7 " C'est en vain qu'on a note certains traits d'anal- 

 ogie <le I'art et de l'industrie * * * telles analogies s'expliquent 

 aisement par la parite des conditions de la vie materielle.'' 



Burkitt, 1921 : s "Again the Magdalenians have been correlated with 

 the Eskimos, who inhabit to-day the icebound coastal lands to the 

 north of the New World, and also the similar lands, on the other side 

 of the straits, in the northeast corner of Asia. But the vast differ- 

 ence in place and in time would make any exact correlation very 

 doubtful." 



MacCurdy, 1924 : 9 "If a Magdalenian type exists, it is probably 

 best represented by the skeleton from Raymonden at Chancelade 

 (Dordogne). One must not lose sight of the fact that the osteologic 

 record of fossil man is even yet so fragmentary that there is grave 

 danger of mistaking individual characters for those on which vari- 

 eties or species should be based." 



Keith, 1925 : 10 " In the Chancelade man we are dealing with a mem- 

 ber of a racial stock of a true European kind."
