They may have been cut off from the rest of mankind for 16,000 or 20,000 or 25,000 years. But among the numerous obstacles and interruptions to intermixture there have been certain main barriers, such as the Atlantic Ocean, the highlands, once higher, and the now vanished seas of Central Asia and the like, which have cut off great groups of varieties from other great groups of varir eties over long periods of time. These separated groups of varieties developed very early certain broad resemblan...ces and differences. Most of the varieties of men in eastern Asia and America, but not all, have now this in common, that they have yellowish buff skins, straight black hair, and often high cheek-bones. Most of the native peoples of Africa south of the Saharah, but not all, have black or blackish skins, flat noses, thick lips, and frizzy hair. In north and western Europe a great ntimber of people have fair hair, blue eyes, and ruddy complexions ; and about the Mediterranean there is a prevalence of white-skinned peoples with dark eyes and black hair.
