THE YELLOW RACE.
The Yellow Race has also been called the Mongol Race, from the well-defined features of one of the families it comprises.
The principal characteristics which distinguish the individuals and the families belonging to the Yellow race, are, high cheekbones, a lozenge-shaped head, a small flat nose, a flat countenance, narrow obliquely-set eyes, straight coarse black hair, a scanty beard, and a complexion of a greenish hue.
However, all the members of the yellow race do not exhibit these distinct features. Sometimes they show but a few of them, whilst others of their characteristics would seem to identify them with the Caucasian group. It is thus very difficult to make the proper divisions in this race.
We will separate it into three branches—the Hyperborean, the Mongolian, and the Sinaic branches.
