About This Book

This work offers a global survey of human peoples and their past, tracing archaeological periods and the development of cultural and physical traits from prehistoric times to the present. It treats regional populations—various African, Oceanic, Mongoloid, American, Australoid, and Caucasic groups—through chapters combining typology, linguistic notes, material culture, and ethnographic description. Fossil and archaeological evidence, photographic plates, and contemporary ethnological literature are brought together to discuss population distribution, migration, and adaptation. Appendices and references support further study.
