The rest of Challoner's narrative relating to Number One is of a highly technical character and not very well suited to the taste of lay readers. The final result will be understood by the following quotation from the museum catalogue: "Specimens Illustrating Criminal Anthropology. "Series A. Osteology.
If, therefore, we look at the whole subject from the entirely impersonal point of view, and face the task of forecasting the progress of industry during the twentieth century, in this aspect we shall find that we have entered upon a chapter in the evolution of the human race dealing, in fact, with a branch of anthropology.
Ceylon's capital teems consequently with people hungry for a table d'hote meal, a 'rickshaw ride, and the indiscriminate purchase of rubbishing cats-eye and sapphire jewelry. The conglomeration of people on the promenade floor of the jetty, watching voyagers come and go, would tend to make a student of anthropology lose his mind.
In these days geography, in the form known as anthropo-geography, is putting forth claims to be the leading branch of anthropology. And, doubtless, a thorough grounding in geography must henceforth be part of the anthropologist's equipment. The schools of Ratzel in Germany and Le Play in France are, however, fertile in generalizations that are far too pretty to be true.
Yet he almost exactly answers to the African Nyankupon, who is explained away as a 'loan-god. For the belief in relatively pure creative beings, whether they are morally adored, without sacrifice, or merely neglected, is so widely diffused, that Anthropology must ignore them, or account for them as 'loan-gods' or give up her theory!

My purpose is to do, by way only of ébauche, what neither anthropology nor psychical research nor psychology has done: to put the savage and modern phenomena side by side.
Hegel's satire on dialectic. Dialectic expresses a given intent. Empirical alloy in dialectic. Arrested rationality in morals. Its emotional and practical power. Moral science is an application of dialectic, not a part of anthropology. Estimation the soul of philosophy. Moral discriminations are natural and inevitable. A choice of proverbs. Their various representative value.
He was ignorant of anthropology, psychology, and the phenomena of environment; but bits of "knowledge" which he embodied in a newspaper article composed that evening stuck wax-like in his brain. Not thus, he deplored, was the Anglo-Saxon wont to conduct his rebellions. These Czechs and Slavs, Hebrews and Latins and Huns might have appropriately been clad in the skins worn by the hordes of Attila.
An Australian native is said to have once nearly died of fright because the shadow of his mother-in-law fell on his legs as he lay asleep under a tree. The awe and dread with which the untutored savage contemplates his mother-in-law are amongst the most familiar facts of anthropology.
