Page 38 - C'est ce problème qu'on a voulu éclaircir dans ce volume en interrogeant les faits primitifs et essentiels, à savoir les caractères anthropologiques, l'idiome, le mode de colonisation, l'influence du milieu géographique, puis les phénomènes d'un degré plus élevé: le restauration de la langue et de la littérature, le réveil des traditions, les péripéties de la lutte des races.
Page 69 - From the Conversion of the Roman Empire to AD 900, with an Account of the Achievements and Writings of the Early Christian, Arab, and Chinese Travellers and Students; From the Close of the Ninth to the Middle of the Thirteenth Century (c.
Page 6 - Summarizing our results thus far, we find two physical types more or less clearly coexisting in the Russian people, and throughout all the Slavs, too, for that matter. One is tall, blondish, and longheaded; the other is brachycephalic, darker-complexioned, and of medium height. The relative proportions of each vary greatly from one region to another. Among Lithuanians and Poles, the former is more noticeable; in the Ukraine the other type becomes more frequent; the Great Russians stand between the...
Page 7 - ... the Slavs as a physical type penetrated Russia from the southwest, where they were physically an offshoot from the great Alpine race of central Europe. In so doing they forced a way in over a people primitive in culture, language, and physical type. This aboriginal substratum is represented to-day by the Finns, now scarcely to be found in purity, pushed aside into the nooks and corners by an intrusive people, possessed of a higher culture acquired in central Europe. Yet the Finn has not become...
Page 6 - For our own part, we rather incline to agree with Matiegka that it is a question which the craniologists are not competent to settle.** That the Alpine (Celtic) racial type of western Europe is the best claimant for the honour seems to us to be the most logical inference, especially in the light of studies of the living aborigines of Russia, to which we must now turn. Three ethnic elements are generally recognised as component parts...
Page 7 - Leaving aside the question of the original centre of dispersion of the Slavic languages, generally placed somewhere along the upper Dnieper, it would seem that the Slavs as a physical type penetrated Russia from the southwest, where they were physically an offshoot from the great Alpine race of central Europe. In so doing they forced a way in over a people primitive in culture, language, and physical type. This aboriginal substratum is represented to-day by the Finns, now scarcely to be found in...
Page 19 - Südeuropa den vorgeschichtlichen Mikrokosmos ziemlich genau wiederzuspiegeln, und insofern halte ich wirklich die spätere geschichtliche Gruppirung, bedingt durch die vorausgegangenen Verhältnisse, für eine erweiterte Fortsetzung der vorgeschichtlichen.
Page 132 - Aufzeichnungen zeugen gleichmassig gegen diese Auffassung und weisen darauf hin, dass wir die ethnische sowie auch sprachliche Berührung der Ungarn und Slaven schon in der Zeit ihrer am Schwarzen Meere gelegenen Urheimat annehmen müssen.
Page 11 - Dans nos pauvres villages néolithiques de pasteurs qui reproduisent si fidèlement le tableau de la vie des primitifs Aryens, on retrouve de leurs restes. Ils étaient seuls sur les rives de la mer Noire, presque jusqu'à l'époque de l'établissement des colonies grecques. Et les invasions scythes ne les en ont pas complètement chassés. Leur grand mouvement d'expansion, à la veille même de l'introduction du bronze peut-être déjà répandu à l'orient de la Méditarranée, coïncide exactement,...
