They were light in colour and of small or medium height; the prominent posterior development (steatopygy) of the women was a characteristic feature of the race. To anthropologists the Bushmen are one of the most interesting races in the world. There are strong grounds for suspecting that they are of the same stock as the remote Upper Palaeolithic period. This cannot yet be definitely asserted but recent discoveries in North and East Africa have tended to strengthen the probability considerably. (A key to the figures followed, giving approximate age of the subject and locality in which the cast was made.) It is noteworthy that, while drawing attention in this label to purity of stock, in the same year Peringuey published the results of Dr F. C. Shrubsall's craniological analysis of some 162 skulls, which showed no discernible difference between San and Khoikhoi (Peringuey 1911). He stated 'I have given up, now, distinguishing between a so-called Bushman or a so-called Hottentot' (Peringuey 1911: 197). These findings were.
