Some Observations On The Ethnography And Archaeology Of The American Aborigines is a book written by Samuel George Morton and published in 1846. The book is a comprehensive study of the Native American tribes that lived in North America before the arrival of Europeans. It covers a wide range of topics, including their customs, traditions, religion, language, and art. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the physical characteristics of the Native Americans, such as their skin color, facial features, and body type. The second part focuses on their social organization, including their family structure, political systems, and economic activities. The third part is dedicated to the archaeology of the Native Americans, including their tools, weapons, and other artifacts. The book is based on Morton's personal observations as well as the work of other scholars in the field. It is an important resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Native Americans.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Samuel Morton studied the excavated remains of ancient Egyptians to gain insight into their origins and relation to other ancient ethnic groups, and published these results.When Morton released his enquiry in 1844, new archaeological finds from Egypt resulted in a surge of interest from scholars and historians. Together with skeletal and mummified remains, a great number of stunning artifacts and hieroglyphic tablets and frescoes were unearthed. Yet the author's interest lies in the physical appearance of the Egyptians; by studying their facial features, skulls, teeth and morphology, Morton hoped to establish their similarities and contrasts to citizens of other nations and geographies in antiquity. Primarily the focus is upon the head, hence this book's title.How do the Egyptians of yore compare physically to the various peoples of the ancient Near East, of Northern and Central Africa, and of Europe? Do the Egyptians' representations of themselves upon monuments, sculptures and artworks resemble their physical remains? What parts of their bodies did Egyptians value and emphasize most, and in what ways did they express such ideas?All these questions are answered, in a manner exuding enthusiasm in the-then brand new discoveries.
