In the preparation of Chapters II, III, and VI of this book Ihave drawn on a University of California syllabus, “Three Essayson the Antiquity and Races of Man”; for Chapter VII, onan article “Heredity, Environment, and Civilization” in theAmerican Museum Journal for 1918; and Chapter V makes useof some passages of “The Languages of the American Indians”from the Popular Science Monthly of 1911. In each case therehas been revision and for the most part rewriting.

Whatever quality of lucidity the volume may have is due toseveral thousand young men and women with whom I havebeen associated during many years at the University of California.Without their unwitting but real co-authorship the bookmight never have been written, or would certainly have beenwritten less simply.
