Apophthegms on the nature of the Science of Ethnology 559-566
Previous to entering upon the details connected with the varieties, and affinities of the human species, it is advisable to explain the meaning and full import of certain terms that are likely to be of frequent occurrence. It is only, however, so far as an _explanation_ is required, that any remarks will be made. The questions themselves, although necessary and preliminary, are well capable of being isolated from the properly descriptive portions of the subject, and of forming separate sections of ethnological science; a separation which is fully justified by their great range and extent.
A. _Terms descriptive of differences in the way of physical conformation._--If we were to take three individual specimens of the human species, which should exhibit three of the most important differences, they would, I think, be--1. A Mongolian, or a Tungús, from Central or Siberian Asia; 2, a Negro from the Delta of the Niger; and 3, a European from France, Germany, or England. At the first view the Negro would seem the most unlike of the three; and, perhaps, he would do so after a minute and careful scrutiny. Still, the characteristic and differential features of the Asiatic would be of a very remarkable kind. In the _general_ profile, in the form of the eye, in the front view of the face, he would differ from both. In the colour of his skin, in the character of his hair, and in the _lower_ part of his profile, he would differ from the Negro. In the _upper_ portion of the profile, and in the outline of the _head_, he would differ from the European.
