(•f af(('s before, tli(; races of North ('entral Europe made extensive 
and constantly repeated niio;rations and settlements in every 
direction fnmi their native region : they passed into Italy and made 
early Rome, and also into (ireece and elsewhere, greatly influencing 
the culture and character of the different peo])les by conquest and 
occupation. Eastwardly, their migrations extended beyond the 
Caspian Sea, where they founded colonies and donn'nated the 
iidiabitants. Westwardly, they overran and dominated P'rance and 
S])ain, and even countries beyond.

also the migratory path of the European races towards Asia which is identical with that of other 
organisms (slightly modified after E. Ha,'ckel). 
The Rkp shows the evolutionary area now OLCupied hy the White races and their advance 
t-astward hy the same migratory routes as other species'; the Vki i.ow indicates the regions 
inhabited by the Mongoloid peoples at that period. 
The M(>NGoLiAN or yellow races, are next in ordei- of domi nancy, 
and in capacity and intelligence are only inferior to tlx' l^]uro])ean : 
they probably preceded the white race in the occu])atioii (»f l']uro])e, 
arising in the same region, from which they are being gradually 
ex])elled by their more highly endowed successors. The probability 
of their former ])resence is further shown by Mongolian traits being 
still perceptibly })resent in widely separated districts or countries of 
Kuro])e, while according to Dr. Woods, of J^arvard College, who has 
investigated this subject, the facial characters of Euro])eans were 
more distinctly Mongoloid tliree or four centuries ago. 
The yellow races have now their metroi)oIis in ('hiiia or Eastern 
Asia, and are exactly e(iuivalent to the Euadeniate Mollusca in their 
probable place of origin, their relative degree of dominancy and 
geograjdiical range. Like their Molluscan analogues, the Euadeniates, 
they cross(Ml to .\merica and j)eo])le(l much of the country. They
