It outlines how the homo Europaeus, homo Alpinus, and homo Mediterraneus are described, how mixtures shape individual traits, and what scientists infer about relationships among these groups. The text then asks about the practical value of these findings for understanding human advancement and social progress, linking heredity and outcomes to civilization.","# 97-84049-25\n\nThecor  \nAn

by the dissimilarity of childrenof the same parents.That a negro is black,aChinese yellow,a Malay or Indian brown,heeasily explains to himself,as they belong todifferent races,but how the children of the sameparents may be so different is a thing he generallydoes not trouble himself about,and if he does hecannot explain,or explains by some vague notionsabout atavismus,without being very clear aboutthe exact meaning of the word.  \nThe anthropologists of the newer school inEurope some decades since put their attention,too,to this interesting subject,and after longstudies came to the following results as to thecomposition of the present population of Europe:  \nThat population is composed of three different  \n## AN ESSAY ON THE\n\nracesthe so-called homo Europceus(Europeanman),a long-skulled,blue-eyed,fair-haired,tall,white-skinned,straight-nosed race;the so-calledhomo Alpinus(Alpine man),a round-skulled,brown-or dark-eyed,black-haired,smalleryellow-or brown-skinned race,with concave orflat,broad nose;and the so-called homo Mediter-raneus(Mediterranean man),a long-skulled,dark-eyed,black-haired,small,dark-skinnedrace,with generally a nose as the homoAlpinus.The first-named race,the highesttype of humanity,is still found the mostabundant in the middle of Sweden;the homoAlpinus in the Alpine region;and the homoMediterraneus in Spain and Southern Italy:from that circumstance the last races have gottheir names.By far the greater part.of thepopulation of Europe is composed of a mixtureof two of these races or of all the three together.Though there are local

homo Mediterraneus is nearlyrelated to the long-skulled negro race,the homoAlpinus to the Mongols;so that they probablyare branches of those races that in prehistorictimes emigrated from Africa and Asia to Europe;while the homo Europcus is probably a mutationthat took place ages ago of some individuals ofthe homo Mediterraneus to the highest formhumanity has yet produced—in the same way asplants,as was discovered by Professor De Vries,sometimes by mutation give birth to a new raceof plants hitherto unknown.  \nThe above is a short resumption of the resultsof the long and painful labours of a number ofthe greatest scientists.  \nWhat,now,is the practical value of theselabours?Many people are not interested inscientific topics;and while most people delight inseeing types of the
