Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a series of anthropological studies and observations on the skeletal remains of the indigenous Point Barrow Eskimo people of Alaska, comparing them to other Eskimo groups across the northern border of the continent. While the Point Barrow Eskimo are one of the more isolated tribes of the region, the author notes that their physical type closely aligns with their kin, and that many racial characteristics are expressed more strongly in the males. Nonetheless, the author acknowledges that the superior nutrition and living conditions of the Alaskan Eskimo may have contributed to their increased stature. The author also discusses the prevalence of certain skeletal anomalies among the people, and explores possible explanations, such as environmental adaptations and cultural practices. The author's goal is to shed new light on the physical characteristics and adaptations of this fascinating group of people.
