Racial Adaptations

The author of this book's Foreword, William W. Howells, says that in 1950 Carleton Coon published a small book which was the FIRST to attempt systematically to survey racial adaptations such as skin color, hair form, and body shape as adaptations to climate and habitat. "Racial Adaptations" is partly an extension and updating of the older one, as well as "The Origin of Races" and "The Living Races of Man."
