...celebrated scientists lave written popular books about their own specialties. Anthropologist Earnest Albert Hooton (Up from the Ape) and Astronomer Harlow Shapley (Flights from Chaos) are exceptions. But in general relatively obscure men, journalists with solid scientific backgrounds or university scientists with a flair for journalism have taken the job of making science "understanded of the people." Among such U. S. interpreters of science three men are particularly outstanding...
This morning the Vagabond will listen to Professor Hooton lecture on "Race Characteristics" at ten o'clock in the Semitic Museum...
Turning to U. S. anthropology, Dr. Hooton pointed out that whereas Europe, Asia and Africa can point to human pre cursors hundreds of thousands of years old, a U. S. find which is alleged to be even 20,000 years old is a sensation, and doughty irreconcilables like the Smithsonian Institution's Ales Hrdlicka stand ready to assail with sledgehammer blows the validity of even that recent dating.

...this vast field have plowed over all of it. The venerable Sir James Frazer (The Golden Bough) surveyed the realm of savage culture. Sir Arthur Keith is an authority on the forerunners of Homo sapiens, Malinowski on primitive sex customs, Levy-Bruhl on primitive mentality. Harvard's Hooton, a thorough student of African archeology and a brilliant commentator of human evolution, is first and foremost an anthropometrist-a man with a pair of calipers and a battery of tabulating machines. The Smithsonian Institution's famed Ales Hrdlicka is a physical and geographical anthropologist. In range and volume...
