THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN POPULATIONS 7
both Mediterraneans and Ethiopians have dolicho-mesaticephalic crania, the discrimina-
tion can only be made in exceptional cases by certain facial characteristics. This does
not detract from the original fact, the importance of which for the population of Africa is
very great.
The importance of this double origin can hardly be exaggerated for all that which con-
cerns Egyptian prehistory, which has also, like the pretended physical unity, been too much
simplified; and equally important it must appear to the students of linguistic origins.
