ANTHROPOLOGY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS 



183 



very slight — almost insignificant, 162 to 163 cm. for the former, 

 and 164 to 165 for the latter, is about the standard of height for 

 these peoples. Intermixture with people who differ but one to 

 two centimeters in height cannot have any effect on the distri- 

 bution of stature so as to be evident in a seriation, as can be 

 readily seen on diagram 3. If the difference in stature had been 

 larger, say eight to ten centimeters, supposing the intermixture 

 had taken place with the Scotch, who average over 170 cm. in 

 height, the curve might have shown it up by a double apex. 



W'hat we desire to emphasize however at this place, is that the 

 smooth course of the curve for stature of the Eastern European 

 Jews does not exclude the possibility of racial intermixture.
