We Humans

Ready-made, more or less
 

Hair types

Hottentot Cross-breed from South Africa.  The typical, woolly ’Peppercorn Hair’ is genetically dominant and hence has been preserved despite the Admixture of European Blood.  Vedda from Ceylon.  The curly Hair is characteristic both of Australians and the European racial Group. Yámana woman from Tierra del Fuego with the Indians’ coarse, straight Hair.  She also presents the Appearance of the primitive Indian Lagoa Santa Race.  Dane with the standard ’mousey-brown’ Hair.

Special Physical Features
Pygmy Women from the Ituri Rainforest and Countess N. Ahnfeldt-Bille with ’Saddlebag Thighs’.  Hottentot woman with ’Fat Buttocks’.  Eskimo Woman from the western Coast of Hudson Bay with childlike (infantile) Features.  Together these Pictures show the Female Types of four different Races.

Face Shapes
Chinese with the distinctive ’Mongolian fold’ which produces the apparent Slant of the Eye.  Ovimbundu Negro from Angola, with protruding Jaw.  Man from the Massim district of New Guinea.  The Nose of the neo-Melanesian Race is often hooked, almost Jewish in appearance.  Woman from Hvide Sande, Denmark, with ’Snub Nose’.

Abnormalities
Genetic Abnormalities are caused by Mutations and can occur among all Races.  These pictures show Instances of Albinism and achondroplastic Dwarfism from New Guinea and Denmark.  What cannot be seen in the Picture is the little white Woman’s tiny, black third Breast.
