The Chinese and Japanese are the chief representatives. Of very ancient civilization, that seems to have stagnated for a long time ; probably likely to play a larger share in world affairs in the future. 3. The American, or red-skinned, races and tribes: in many respects the North American Indians resemble the Mongolians. The Eskimos and certain Siberian tribes show remarkable resemblances to both groups. Partly because of the treatment to which they were subjected, and partly because of their racial characteristics, these people are of diminishing importance in the world. 4 and 5. The Negroid, or black-skinned, races and tribes: hair black and woolly, or frizzled; eyes dark; nose broad. The African, or Ethiopian, blacks differ in many ways from the Melanesian and Australian blacks. Indeed, but for the color of the skin they should be put into as distinct groups as the Chinese and the Irish, for example. Huxley, who lumps the red-skinned and the yellow-skinned peoples into one race, nevertheless makes two races of the Australian and Melanesian blacks, on the one hand, and the African blacks, on the other.
