Zur Anthropologie der Badener; Bericht über die von anthropologischen Kommission des Karlsruher Altertumsvereins an Wehrpflichtigen und Mittelschülern vorgenommenen Untersuchungen

Abstract

FOR many years the distinguished worker, Dr. Ammon, has been conducting an anthropological survey of the Grand-duchy of Baden in such an exhaustive and detailed manner as cannot fail to excite the admiration of all interested in this branch of science. A considerable proportion of his investigations has been already published and incorporated in anthropological text-books; but the present bulky volume gives the whole of his work in collected form, and embodies such generalisations as he considers can at present be safely attempted. For the final bearings of these investigations on the history and evolution of this portion of the Caucasian race, Dr. Ammon states, however, that further observations are necessary both in his own and in neighbouring countries. As a monument of patient research, many of the fruits of which others will pluck, the volume before us reflects the highest credit on the author and his fellow-worker, Dr. Wilser.
