Abstract
REPERCUSSIONS of political events have brought about a general stocktaking in racial studies, of which the most important result has been that it has constrained anthropologists to clarify and restate their views on the definition of race, the essential qualities, or characters, on which racial classification is based, and on the classification of existing races. Numerous manuals have appeared with the object of removing misapprehensions among the general public as to the character and implications of the term, when used in the strict and only sense which can be regarded as applicable to Homo sapiens according to his physical characters.
