AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book deals with the physical anthropology of the Copper Inuit with some comparative material from other Inuit groups. From an analysis of the data, Jenness concluded that Stefánson's theory of Viking blood in the Copper Inuit is erroneous.
