Franz Boas and Native American biological variability.

Human biology - 1 Jun 1995

Jantz R L

Abstract excerpt

The contributions to physical anthropology with which Franz Boas is usually credited are in the areas of growth, plasticity of head and body form, and biometric genetics. Such a listing of Boas's contributions overlooks the tremendous amount of research he did with biological variability of Native American populations. The rediscovery of his anthropometric data documents the tremendous investment in time, money,...
