Zusammenfassung:Anthropologists began searching for anthropometric measurements collected by Franz Boas after Roberta Hall used data from Boas to analyze anthropometric variation among British Columbia's Native American peoples in 1972. The search yielded boxes of anthropometric measurements taken in the 19th century of various peoples in North America and northeastern Siberia. The data supplied by Boas is essential to understanding biological similarities of peoples in the past.
