Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the physical characteristics of the Marquesan people, indigenous to the Marquesas Islands. The author explores the history of the population, considering the possibility of intermixing with Europeans and Asians. Drawing on observations made during field studies, the author meticulously documents the stature, measurements, and physical attributes of 201 individuals, 84 men and 74 women, representing the spectrum of the population. By comparing these observations to data from other Pacific islander groups, the author discerns racial affinities and patterns of inter-island differences within the Marquesas. Adding to the analysis, photographic documentation captures the facial features of these individuals. The author elucidates the significance of these variations, suggesting they may reflect the presence of more than one physical type within the Marquesan population. Through meticulous analysis and interpretation, this book offers valuable insights into the genetic diversity and history of the captivating Marquesan people.
