Note 584 — Chapter XVII
Reading edition
Those who are curious in such matters, may be referred to the following works by Giustiniano Nicolucci: La Stirpe Ligure in Italia, Napoli, 1864; Sulla Stirpe Iapigica, Napoli, 1866; Sull'Antropologia delta Grecia, Napoli, 1867; Antropologia dell'Etruria, Napoli, 1869; Antropologia del Lazio, Napoli, 1873. Also to Luigi Calori's Del Tipo Brachicefalo negli Italiani odierni, Bologna, 1868, and a learned article upon this work by J. Barnard Davis in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, Jan. July, 1871. Nicolucci's and Calori's researches lead to opposite results regarding the distribution of brachycephalic skulls in Italy. Nicolucci adopts in its entirety the theory of an Aryan immigration from the North; Barnard Davis rejects it. It seems to me impossible in our present state of knowledge to draw conclusions from the extremely varied and interesting observations recorded in the treatises cited above.
