AUTHOR
SUMMARY
How, asks John Terrell in this richly illustrated and original book, can we best account for the remarkable diversity of the Pacific Islanders in biology, language, and custom? Traditionally scholars have recognized a simple racial division between Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians, Australians, and South-east Asians: peoples allegedly differing in physical appearance, temperament, achievements, and perhaps even intelligence. Terrell shows that such simple divisions do not fit the known facts and provide little more than a crude, static picture of human diversity.Terrell, John E. is the author of 'Prehistory in the Pacific Islands A Study of Variation in Language, Customs, and Human Biology', published 1989 under ISBN 9780521369565 and ISBN 0521369568.
