Stran 10 - Institution indicate, he says, " that there exist to-day over large parts of eastern Siberia and in Mongolia, Tibet, and other regions in that part of the world numerous remains which now form constituent parts of more modern tribes or nations, of a more ancient population (related in origin, perhaps, with the latest paleolithic European), which were physically identical with, and in all probability gave rise to, the American Indian.
Stran 8 - Straits; and it is true that there are every where along this tract the remains of huts constructed of earth and whalebones, and quite different from the present dwellings of the Tschuktschi. A disagreement between Krachoi, the principal chief of the Asiatic Esquimaux, and an Errim, or head of a tribe of rein-deer Tschuktschi, broke out into decided hostilities ; Krachoi was defeated and forced to flee, his people migrated, and the coast was deserted.

Stran 5 - Ethnology. The results of the investigations seemed at first to lend support to the theory of considerable antiquity for some of the remains presented as evidence, as, for example, the two low skulls discovered at Trenton, New Jersey. Subsequent researches however, cleared up most of the uncertain points and the entire inquiry appeared to establish the fact that no specimen had come to light in the northern continent, which, from the standpoint of physical anthropology, represented other than a relatively...
Stran 7 - A consideration of the distribution, and the characteristics of languages and human types in America and Asia, have led me to formulate the theory that the so-called Paleo-Asiatic tribes of Siberia must be considered as an offshoot of the American race, which may have migrated back to the Old World after the retreat of the Arctic glaciers.

Stran 10 - ... to-day over large parts of eastern Siberia, and in Mongolia. Tibet, and other regions in that part of the world, numerous remains, which now form constituent parts of more modern tribes or nations, of a more ancient population ( related in origin, perhaps, with the latest paleolithic European), which was physically identical with and in all probability gave rise to the American Indian.
Stran 10 - In relation to opportunities for further investigation, the author has satisfied himself that the field for anthropological and archaeological research in eastern Asia is vast, rich, to a large extent still virginal, and probably not excessively complicated. It is surely a field which calls for close attention not only on the part of European students of the Far East, but especially on the part of the American investigator who deals with the problems of the origin and immigration of the American...
