On the whole the nasal spine reaches its most pronounced development,
especially in height, in the modern whites. It is rudimentary or absent
in the anthropoid apes, and seldom reaches marked development in the
yellow-brown and black races. Among Indians it ranges from rudimentary
or very low to fairly well developed. In the Munsee, as shown by the
accompanying figures, it was mostly very low to submedium.
