IRAQ
The Field Museum Anthropological Expedition to the Near East, spon-
sored by Marshall Field, recently concluded an anthropometric survey of the
peoples of Iraq, and made similar studies in Persia and the Caucasus Moun-
tains of the U.S.S.R. The leader of the expedition, Henry Field, assistant
curator of physical anthropology, began this survey in 1925. He was ac-
companied on the recent expedition by Richard A. Martin, who, as photog-
rapher, took seven thousand photographs, and assisted in the anthropological

work.

The main objective was to determine the physical relationships of the
ancient and modern inhabitants of the Near East to their contemporaries of
Africa, Europe, and Asia. This problem is of great scientific importance, since

THE STORY OF MAN

By HENRY FIELD

FIELD MOSETJH OF NATURAL HISTOEY

The story of man — past, present and
future — concerns every living person.
Man's past, however, is a much longer
story than the average person appre-
ciates. Many people realize that in
order to understand the present and
plan intelligently for the future we must
have some knowledge of the past. But
those same people may turn to ancient
Egypt, to Greece and Rome, to William
the Conqueror and Alexander the Great,
and feel that they are going back to the
beginnings of history.

Man's struggles and victories began
hundreds of thousands of years before
Alexander undertook his brave expedi-
tions— and those struggles were against
greater odds, those victories more in-
spiring, than any man has known since
the time that history was first written.

Let us review in outline the main
features in the dramatic story of man
during the past million years. In pass-
ing from the darkness of our knowledge
of the first men down to the dawn of
history, we are continually aware of the
limitations of available information. We
owe an eternal debt of gratitude, how-
ever, to the scientists who have con-
tributed fragmentary pages to the book
of knowledge, which is the story of man.

Who was the first man, and where did
he come from? It is difficult to trace
the unwritten record of man, since
many of the details lie buried in the
earth or are lost beyond recall. During
the past few centuries it was believed
that the world was created in the year
4004 B.C. and that man was the result of
special creation. At the close of the first
third of the twentieth century scientific

workers have shown absolute proof that
hundreds of millions of years passed
before any animal that could definitely
be recognized as human had evolved
upon the earth. Study of both living
and fossil forms reveals the fact that a
labored evolutionary progress from sim-
ple one-celled organisms to many-celled,
from fish to amphibians, from reptiles to
birds and mammals, was necessary to
produce the most advanced form — man.

Branching off from the main primate
stock several million years ago, our an-
cestors possessed many physical charac-
teristics in common with the anthropoid
apes. As time passed, the gap between
the two branches grew ever wider. We
do not know just when or where the first
humans evolved, but the evidence that
man did develop in such a manner is
undeniable, and gradually the facts are
being pieced together to form an increas-
ingly clear picture.

On the northern border of Europe —
in England — and on the eastern fringe
of Asia — near Peiping — the earliest
traces of man have been found. Primi-
tive evidence has also been unearthed in
Africa; so that even hundreds of thou-
sands of years ago mankind had spread
far and wide. The data, consisting of
fragmentary human remains, stone tools,
animal bones and the charcoal of hearth
fires, are still too few to draw any but
the crudest picture of the earliest mem-
bers of the human race. There is abun-
dant evidence of man 's existence a quar-
ter of a million years ago, however, in
western Europe. The climate was mild.
The elephant, rhinoceros and hippo-
potamus were the dominant forms of

RACIAL TYPES FROM SOUTH ARABIA

BY HENRY FIELD

Assistant Curator, Field Museum of Natural History.

THE PHYSICAL characters of the South Arabs reveal the fact
that they are remarkably different from the northern Arabs.
Extremely round-headed, the South Arab has a small brain ca-
pacity ; his hair is fuzzy and on face and body may be almost absent.
The skin color is often dark and swarthy.

The North Arab, on the other hand, is long-headed, of lighter
complexion and possesses dark brown hair with low waves. The
great desert of Rub'al Khali serves as a formidable geographic bar-
rier to prevent migrations. Between the North and the South Arab
there has thus been little racial admixture in recent times.

Racial affinities of the South Arab lie in northeast Africa; a Ne-
groid strain occurs in the belt from Africa through South Arabia
to Melanesia, including the Dravidians of southern India. Infer-
ences of these relationships may be drawn from photographs of
racial tvpes in South Arabia. Several years ago Mr. A. R. M.
Rickards journeyed to Nisab, one of the larger Atilaqi towns, and
along the Wadi Beihan, taking a number of photographs of the
people he encountered. Through his general cooperation a series of
his pictures illustrates these brief notes.1 The photographs of the
men from Dhufar and the Wadi Beihan show remarkable variations
in physical type. Differences between the inhabitants of North
and South Arabia can readily be seen when these photographs are
compared to those of the Arabs and Beduins of Iraq.2 Bertram
Thomas has measured and photographed a small number of South
Arab tribesmen.3 In the near future we can expect to see the pubhea-

North Caucasus

According to a recent survey the oldest excavated gold objects from this
region are the ornaments and vessels, now in the Hermitage Museum, found
in 1897 in a tumulus near Maikop (Kohan region) dated to the latter part of
the third millennium B.C. Fourteen sites excavated between 1869 and 1907
yielded gold objects from the third and second millenniums B.C. All except one
northern site are located within the Maikop region. Toward the end of the
second millennium b.c. gold disappears in North Caucasian burials. It has
not been found in contemporaneous or earlier sites farther east. The North
Caucasian Bronze Age, dated to the end of the second and the beginning of
the first millennium b.c, is represented by many sites of Koban culture in
North Ossetio and generally in the mountainous regions of the North Cau-
casus. With the exception of a very few gold spiral rings from Ossetia, gold
objects were not found at Koban culture sites.

The "Scythian epoch" (last six or seven centuries B.C.) is very rich in gold.

LIST OF DOCUMENTS MICROFILMED, 1941 — 1948

by
HENRY FIELD

Introduction. -- The following articles have been placed on microfilm in
the American Documentation Institute (ADI), 1719 N Street, N. W., Wash-
ington 6, D. C, where microfilm or photostat copies may be purchased.
This material consists of the following:

(a) Original contributions.

(b) Articles, Statistical Tables, and photographs supplementing pub-
lished materials.

Since publication costs have increased to such an extent during the
past decade, I decided to place on microfilm in ADI all raw data of anthro-
pometric statistics, supplementary photographs, and some original texts of
Russian articles published. In this way the material (3970 pages) is avail-
able as microfilm or photostat copies.

I have prepared the following list of microfilmed material in ADI,
which supplements my anthropogeographical studies of Southwestern Asia,
begun in 1925. In addition, articles on Soviet archeology have been in-
cluded. The Russian publications have been presented to the Peabody
Museum at Harvard.

For convenience, the material has been arranged in the following
groups: Southwestern Asia, USSR, Europe, China, Caribbean, South
America and Miscellanea.

My gratitude must be expressed to Mr. Watson Davis, Director of
Science Service in Washington, and long-time exponent of microfilming
and to Mr. H. L. Flemer, Bibliofilm Service, Room 1543, South Building,
U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C, who supervised
the microfilming for the American Documentation Institute.

The reader is also referred to my "Bibliografia" in Boletin Biblio-
grafia de Antropologia. Americana, vol. 9, pp. 325-333, 1946, printed in

By Henry Field
(United States)

Sumario

El autor nos presenta una interesante Hsta de plantas
medieinales utilizadas en la farmacopea indigena de Te-
poztlan, Estado de Morelos (Mexico) ; los datos fueron reco-
gidos por el Dr. Field, graeias a la informacion de una
curandeia de dicha iocaiidad llamada Maria de Jesus de
Ayala. La Hsta comprende 36 referencias, cada una de las
cuales especifica el nombre en castellano, el nombre en n,a-
huatl.^el nombre cientifico, cuando es posible, la enfermedad
para que se usa, su pieparacion y prescripcion. Esta aporta-
eion cs complemento de la lista que el Dr. Redfield, bien
conccido por sus valiosos trabajos etnograficos en Tepoztlan,
publico en 1328 con el titulo de "Remedial Plants of Tepoz-
tlan. A Mexican Folk Herbal".

Introduction

In order to complement and supplement the ethnohotanical notes
published by Redfield2 and because I had collected similar data* in
Iran and Iraq, the following notes were obtained from the leading
curandera of Tepoztlan, Maria de Jesus de Ayala. to whom patients
also come from the outlying barrios and neighboring villages. Ma-
ria, who is about sixty-five years old. lives in a single-room adobe
house, about 20 X 15 feet. Just inside the door stands a cane bed which
is used for patients, guests or sleeping. Another similar bed faces the
door. A third is pushed against the wall to the right of the entrance.
From the ceiTTng hang dried herbs used in her medicine. On the floor

MODIGLIAM. — L'opera del Comitato nel 1914.

II primo anno di vita del nostro Comitato fu un periodo di
orientamento e di prova. Nel lf'14. trovata orrnai la nostra via,
abbiamo potuto seguire un deliberato programme meglio diretto
ai fini che ci siamo imposti.

E cioe da una parte si sono aggrediti problemi fonclamentali
della cronologia qnaternaria — come quello della suecessione della
industria di tipo mousteriano alia, fades a manufatti amigdaloidi —
e Taltro della fauna che al mousteriano si accompagna in Ita-
lia ; ed a tale scopo abbiamo portato le ricerche sui terrazzi
umbri del Tevere ed a Scalea, ossia in localita che per molti
indizi sembravano adatte a risolvere tali questioni.

Dall'altra parte abbiamo voluto rendere piu sistematica l'esplo-
razione delle grotte italiane non disperdendo ie nostre forze piu
qua o piu la, ma concentrandole su una serie di caverne d'una
stessa regione ; per modo da controllare i resultati d'una ricerca
con quelli di deposit! similiari e prossimi e — ■ una volta tro-
vati in questa grotta i depositi pleistocenici — da aumentare
notevolmente la probability di reperti relativi all' uomo fossile,
che sono quelli che piu c' interessano. La serie di grotte su cui
fermammo la nostra scelta fu quella delle Alpi Apuane e piu
specialmente del loro versante versiliese : ne esplorammo mol-
tissime e 1' esplorazione fu come vedremo proficua.
