By: Hrdlicka, Ales.

AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a brief report which analyzes the racial affinities and somatic characteristics of the Koreans. Data from a number of sources have been examined by Hrdlicka and his conclusions are based upon the work of some of the earlier writers on Korean culture (Ross, Griffis) while the physical measurements have been derived from the small amount of literature on this subject. Assessing all the available evidence, Hrdlicka arrives at a number of conclusions.
