[255] Individual distinctions can only, then, be based on the alterations of type, in characteristics which are not those of the supposed ideal.

[256] “It is one of the clearest facts in the animal, as well as in the vegetable world; all races generally reproduce and perpetuate themselves without mingling and confounding one with the other.”—Prichard, Histoire Naturelle de l’Homme, vol. i., p. 17. Compare Morel, Dégénérescences de l’espèce humaine, p. 2.

[258] “No race will amalgamate with another; they die out, or seem slowly to be becoming extinct.” Compare the Ethnological Journal, p. 98.
[259] “We arrive at the fundamental conclusion that it is useless for people belonging to varieties of different races, but neighbours, to ally themselves together; part of the new generation will always preserve the primitive type.”—See Courtet de l’Isle, Tableau Ethnographique, p. 77.
[260] Latham thinks, however, that he has discovered some vestiges of the Phœnician race in Africa and Cornwall. Compare Knox, The Races of Men, 1850.
