"The author finds by genealogical inquiry that only about 20% of American "negroes" are racially pure, the remainder having a greater or less admixture of white and Indian blood. He inquires whether this crossing is producing a definite physical type, as judged by anthropometric measurements; and believes that the standard deviations which he finds are sufficiently low to warrant an affirmative answer. Conclusions are drawn on the basis of direct comparison of means and standard deviations. It is concluded that American negroes are a "racial group," though not a "race." - (PsycINFO Database Record), American Psychological Association.
