A Study of Cerebral Anthropology 15 



While we may eliminate the factors of body weight, height and 

 age in any one race by taking the average of a great number of 

 brains, we cannot compare this average with that of another race 

 unless these factors are constant and operate in the same way for 

 both races. The same difficulty will obtain for sex. 



This fact has been overlooked by many investigators and their 

 conclusions are consequently valueless.
