The Bushman Brain
"The anthropology of the brain, as Ariens Kappers indicates, is a subject which is worthy of being elevated from its present state of neglect. The present investigation was inspired by Woollard's paper on the Australian brain. Further grounds for recording this enquiry are the paucity of knowledge concerning the brain of this most interesting race, and the inevitability that such brains will become more and more difficult to procure..."

South Africa 1932 was a place rather different to South Africa 2007 .
From the above figures it is clear that the Bushman brain has (as one would expect from its small size) an exceedingly small weight [1097 gm]. For comparison we may cite Woollard's figures for three Australian brains: 1138*0, 1123*0, and 1044*6 gm., and Kappers' average figure for Southern Chinese brains- 1239 gm., and for Dutch males 1322 gm. Villiger (6) gives the following list of average weights for different races: Caucasian 1335 gm. Chinese 1332 Sandwich Islander 1303 Malay and Indian 1266 Negro 1244 Australian 1185 Thank the gods at least some articles are available to the public. I must say, all this restriction of access to online journals and papers ala ProQuest etc. and making money from publishing publicly funded academic research is a bloody disgrace. |
