FIG. 2 (3 views). An American Ashkenazic Jew (Massachusetts) whose parents were born in the Ukraine. Brown-haired and blue-eyed, and slightly brachycephalic, he still preserves the facial features of a Palestinian Mediterranean racial element dating back at least to the time of the Amorites. FIG. 3 (3 views). The American-born (Massachusetts) son of a rabbi from Memel, and a mother born in Riga. This individual, despite his cephalic index of 81, is otherwise a good example of the straight-nosed Mediterranean type which is as numerous among the unmixed Jews as the convex-nosed variety. FIG. 4 (3 views). An American Jew (New York) whose ancestors without exception have lived in the Rhinelands for several centuries and who probably first settled there in Roman times. Racially this individual is Nordic; he shows little or no physical evidence of Jewish ancestry. |
