Brains and Brain Preservatives

Washington, Government Printing Office, 1906. orig.wrappers. 23x15cm, (75) pp, From the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Volume XXX".. Unopened. Rubbed. Spine chipped. Good
¶ Pagination runs 245-320. ["Between 1898 and 1903, during his scientific travel across America, Hrdlicka became the first scientist to spot and document the theory of human colonization of the American continent from east Asia only some 15,000 years ago. He argued that the Indians migrated across the Bering Strait from Asia, supporting this theory with detailed field research of skeletal remains as well as studies of the people in Mongolia, Tibet, Siberia, Alaska, and Aleutian Islands. The findings backed up the argument which later involved into the theory of global origin of human species that was awarded by the Thomas Henry Huxley Award in 1927. Ales Hrdlicka founded and became the first curator of physical anthropology of the U.S. National Museum, now the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History in 1903. He was the founder of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology" - wikipedia].

¶ In colleaboration with W.H. Holmes; Bailey Willis; Frederick Eugene Wright; and Clarence N. Fenner. Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 52. This report was the result of an investigation by a team of scientists from the Smithsonian, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Carnegie Institution into skeletal remains found in Argentina and Brazil that were reported by the finders to be of great antiquity, even to the extent that at least one might be that of a different species of man. The report concludes that none of the claims was correct. They were also remains of Indians of much more recent vintage. Olive cloth-covered boards, 405 pp. black and white photographs, drawings and maps throughout. Light wear to board edges and corners; pages lightly toned, but otherwise clean, tight, bright and unmarked. Signature of prior owner, William S. "Sid" Stallings of the University of Arizona. Stallings was a noted anthropologist and archaeologist who was among the early staff at the Laboratory of Anthropology in Santa Fe.
