THE MIGRATION OF POPULATIONS 79 means simple. Racial, linguistic, social, and political hindrances have to be overcome in order to facilitate migration movements. The various peoples of the sarth exhibit differences which greatly hinder even their adventitious mixing, to say nothing of a thorough miscegenation. We are not yet assuredly aware whether racial antagonisms are the outward expression of what may be called sub-conscious judgments, or are merely fatuous prejudices which it is desirable should dis- appear. The proper degree of miscibility of different populations is by no means easily ascertained. The question of migration, therefore, is bound up with that of the admixtures of peoples. Were they merely geographically divided into groups, but belong- ing to the one primitive stock, then no doubt the matter would be fraught with much less difficulty than the problem actually existing. Anthropological and anatomical researches, however, indicate that the human race is divided into at least three great groups, their facial appearances being aptly described by Linnzus as those of the Homo Europeus, the Homo Asiaticus, and the Homo Afer. Researches like those of A. de Gobineau into the Inequality of Human Races; like those of F. Siegert in Mongolism;* of J. and R. L. Langdon-Down on the Ethnic Classification of Idiots; of G. Pouchet on the Plurality of the Human Race; of Sera on the Morphology of Man and of the Primitives;® of H. Klaatsch on the Evolution and Progress of Man- kind; of L. Macauliffe on the origins of actual man;?3 of F. G. Crookshank and many others, show unmis- takably that the question of the desirability of the miscegenation of different peoples is one demanding consideration. It is not a mere colour question, but one of fundamental characters. \ Die mongoloide 1diotie : der Mongolismus. 2 Giorn. p. la Morf. dell’ Uomo e dei Prim., 1918, 1921, Les Origines de I’homme actuel, Paris, 1923.
