Excerpt from book: SPANISH ANTHROPOLOGY. THE physical anthropology of the Peninsula was unti quite lately a kind of terra incognita, which may even still be said of that of Portugal; but the reproach has been wiped away from Spain pretty completely within the last five or six years. What knowledge we had prior to 1889 on the subject had no scientific basis, except so far as the Basques were concerned. Broca's invasion of Guipuzcoa, or rather his acquisition, through Dr. Velasco, of the famous collection of skulls from Zaraus, had shown that there at least meso- kephaly of a particular type preponderated, and that the old hypothesis of their affinity with the Lapps, based as it was upon hasty philological conclusions, was not at all borne out by craniometry.
