It is only when two extreme sections of two of the primary divisions meet that there is true Hybridism. With intermediate and transitional forms, such as the Arab and Indian, and others, there is merely—
SIMPLE INTERMIXTURE.
This is a point of minute ethnology. To take a few of the European populations as instances, it attempts to determine the amount of foreign elements in—
1. The English.—These being Keltic, Roman, Danish, Anglo-Norman, &c., anterior to, or engrafted on, a Saxon foundation.
2. The French.—Foundation, Roman; other elements, Keltic, German, &c.
3. The Spanish.—Foundation, Roman; other elements, Iberic, Goth, Arab.
4. The Germans.—Foundation, Gothic; other elements, Slavonic, Keltic.
5. The Slavonians.—Non-Slavonic elements, Ugrian, Turk, Mongol, Dioscurian, &c.
6. The Hungarians.—Non-Majiar elements; Roman, Turk, Mongol, Slavonic, German.
And so on throughout most countries of the world.
