The table shows the Eskimo jaw to be absolutely the highest at the
symphysis of all those available for comparison, with the female nearly
the highest.[164] Relatively to stature it exceeds decidedly all the
groups, the Indians that come nearest matching it in the absolute
measurement being all much taller than the Eskimo. And the female
Eskimo jaw is relatively high compared with that of the male, being
exceeded in this respect only in three of the Indian groups, in two of
which, however, the showing is due wholly and in one partly to a lesser
height of the male jaw. The relative excess of the female jaw in this
respect seems particularly marked in the northern and northeastern
groups, though it must remain subject to corroboration by further
material.
The white, Negro, and Australian data have an interest of their own.
