noticing

that in almost every e.a. hooton text there is a treatise on avoiding the biological degredation & doom of humans. Some of his recommendations are seriously eugenical in nature.
In _Apes, Men and Morons_ he goes over the different racial types he studies; in mentioning the white folks, he calls them "our own great physical group... called Whites for want of a better term..." does he mean great as in large? I think he likely does; he differentiates between different types of white folks, identifying one or two races with very light skin and features because of "abrubt hereditary changes... inbreeding and selection." Their features mentioned are prefaced with adjectives like excessive, bizarre, diminution, extreme. I assume that he is talking about Irish and Scandinavian folks primarily, perhaps Germans. Hmm.
