THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1870.
Huilry on "The 'orl'lerf"i I
the KngllHii leopl."
Recently Professor Huxley delivered a leo
tnre at St. George's Hall, London, entitled,
"The Forefathers of the English Teople on
the Mainland of Europe and Asia." The Pro
fessor illustrated his remarks by references to
a large map of the two continents, which, he
xplained, he had had specially prepared for
the ocoanion. The hall was crowded by an
interested audience, which heartily greeted
the Professor on his entrance, and listened to
Lis discourse throughout in a most attentive
manner.
Professor Huxley, after a few introductory
observations, said:
The English people of the present day pro
sent two types of physical structure, which
are extremely different in their most marked
forms, though they pass into one another by
every shade of gradation. The one typo is
tail, fair-complexioned, yellow or red-haired,
and blue-eyed; the other, short, dark-complexioned,
black-haired, and black-eyed.
The two types and their intermediate grada
tions are at present to be found side by side
in most parts of the British Islands; but there
is a marked preponderance of the fair type in
the eastern half of Britain. The languages
spoken by the English people have at the
present time no relation to these two physical
types, English speakers and Celtic speakers
belonging no less to the one type than to the
other. Nor are the two Celtic dialects,
Cymric and Gaelio, confined to people of the
one or the other physical type, as both the
types described are exhibited in their ex
treme forms among Welshmen, Highlanders,
and Irishmen.
The earliest historical records furnished by
Crcsar, Strabo, and Tacitus, of the nature of
the population of Biitain, take us back nine
teen hundred years, and show that, at that
time, the physical characters of the popula
tion might be described in the same language
as at present. The people of Southeastern
England and Caledonia were certainly tall,
fair, and blue-eyed, with hair varying from
yellow to red in hue; while, in South Wales,
they had dark hair and complexions, resem
bling the Spaniards of that day. But there
was a wonderful difference in language, inas
much as all these people of Britain, so far as
we know, spoke the Cymrio dialect of the
Celtio tongue; while it is probable, though we
have no absolute knowledge on this point,
that in Ireland they spoke Gaelic. Thus, at
the time of the Roman invasion, the outward
physical characters of the population of
these islands were much what tney are now,
though the language spoken was altogether
Celtio. And there was no parity between the
distribution of the Cymric and Gaelic dialects
of the Celtio and that of the two physical
types, any more than there is now between
English and Celtio and the fair and dark
stocks. If we confine our attention to the
British Islands, therefore, we have absolutely
no means of ascribing any special physical
characters to the Celtic-speaking people. A
British or Irish Celt might be tall or short,
dark or fair, round-headed or long-headed;
and the remark of Professor Max Muller that
it is as rational to sp9ak of a dolichocephalic
language as of a Celtio skull is, for the Celts
of Britain, perfectly justified.
Whence was this Celtic-speaking people,
with its two contrasted dark and fair forms,
which inhabited Britain nineteen hundred
hundred years ago, derived ? The position
of the British Islands is sufficient to suggest
the extreme probability that it migrated
from Europe, the eastern and the southern
faces of these islands being within easy
reach of the shores of those countries which
are now Norway, Denmark, North Germany,
Holland, Belgium, and France. And the
probability suggested by the facts of geo
graphy becomes converted into a certainty by
those of ethnology and of history.
In the first place, if we turn to the existing
population of the continent of Europe and
Asia we shall at once recognize our two phy
sical types the fair and the dark. From
Norway to Northeastern, France the predomi
nant constituents of the riverain population
bl the North Sea and of the British Channel
are
tall, fair-haired, and blue-eyed. In
Northwestern France the proportion of
short and dark people increases, until, in
Southern and Southwestern Franoe, they are
the chief constituents of the population. A
traveller who should set out from the Orkney
Islands and call at every point in the North
Sea, and who then should make a land jour
ney from the mouth of the Elbe co that of
the Don, would find the people with whom he
met to be generally, and in many regions ex
clusively, of the fair type. On the other
hand, if he set out from Galway and cruised
along the western coasts of these island,
and of France and of Spain and the north
shore of the Mediterranean, he would find as
marked a predominance of the dark type. In
fact, the population of the southern and
western parts of France, of Spain, of the
Ligurian shore, and of Western and Southern
Italy, is as generally dark as that of North
Germany is fair.
There is no reason to think that climatal
conditions have anything whatever to do
with this singular distribution of the fuir and
the dark types. Not only do the dark
Highlanders lie five or six degrees farther
north than the fair Black-foresters of Germany,
but, to the north of all the fair inhabitants of
Europe, in Lapland, thoro lives a race of
people, very different in tkoir characters from
the dark stock of Britain, but still having
black hair, black eyes, and swarthy yellowish
complexions. Thus, having regard only to
physical characters, the population of Europe
falls into three broad bands, which run in a
rough way from west to east. In the north
is the zone of the black-haired, black-eyed
Mongoloid Lapps. In the south is the zone
of the people who resemble the dark type of
the British inlands, and who have been called
Melanochroi; between them lies the broad
belt of fair people, who have been termed
Xantlwchroi. If this were a mere natural
history question, the facts I have mentioned
would allow ub to draw but one conclusion
as to the origin of the population of these
islands naaiely, that the dark type has
been furnished by immigrants from the Con
tinental Mdanochrot; the fair type by imml
grants from the Continental Xantlwchroi.
But history and philology have every right to
be heard in such a matter as this; and I must
now try as well as I can (for it is not my
metier) to put before you what they have to
say.
What history tells us, so far as it goes, is
quite in accordance with the suggestions of
biology. It is pertain that, from the fifth
century to the tenth, a vast number of people
from Scandinavia and North Germany poured
into the British islands on all sides, but, as
might be expected, most persistently and
numerously into the eastern moiety of Britain.
They brought with them languages which
may properly and conveniently be termed
dialects of Teutonio, in contradistinction to
the indigenous dialects of Celtio. Out of these
dialects the language usually known as Anglo
Saxon was developed, and from it, by Bubse-
qtient modification and absorption for
the most port of Celtic and French elements,
has grown English. The invasion which thus
changed the langnsge of Britain introduced
no new element into the physical conforma
tion of the people, so far as stature and com
plexion are concerned, though it may have
done so in the matter of crauiul conformation.
It is unquestioned that Norsemen, Danes, and
Saxons were alike a toll, fair-haired people,
and thfir immigration strengthened the Xan
thochroio element of our population, but added
nothing new, unless it were a longer form of
head. Thus, to put the matter in another
way, tall stature, fair hair, and blue eyes, in
a native of Britain, are no evidence of his
descent rather from the primary Celtic-speaking,
than from the immigrant Teutonic-speaking
element of onr population, or the reverse.
He is as likely to be a "Celt" as a "Teuton,"
a "Teuton" as a "Colt."
But history teaches ns more than this.
There is the clearest evidence that the Gauls
the Celtic-speaking people who burnt Home
nearly four centuries before our era be
longed to the fair type, and neither by their
stature, their complexions, the color of their
eyes or their hair, were distinguishable from
such Teutonic-speaking people as the Goths,
who sacked Home four centuries after it;
and that, for these eight centuries at any rate,
Northwestern, Central, Eastern Europe and
the western part of Central Asia were occu
pied by a tall, fair, blue-eyed people, who
were known by the name of CeltroBelg;o
(the language which they spoke), Germani,
Venedi, or Wjnds, and Alani, accord
ing to the districts which they occupied, and
the language which they spoke.
Those who have any doubts upon this snb-
i'ect had better consult the great work of
Caspar Zeuss, "Die Deutschen und die Nach
barstumme," published thirty years ago; or
the excellent discussion, mainly based upon
Zeuss, in Prichard; or to the instructive works
of Brandes and De Belloguet.
Thus, when history first makes known the
Celtic language to ns, it is in the months of a
people physically identical with the Germans
end the Slavonians; and when the affinities of
the Celtic, the Teutonio, and Slavonio lan
guages are worked out by the philologer they
are all found to belong to the same great
group of Aryan languages. The argument to
be drawn from the physical affinity of the
Celtic-speaking with the Teutonic-speaking
people is therefore supported and intensified
by the linguistic affinities between the Celtio
and the Teutonic tongues; and philology con
curs with history in testifying to the ethnic
unity of the Celtic-speaking people on the
left bank of thej Rhino with the Teutonio
spenking people to the eastwnrd. In their
clothing, in their arms, in their houses, in
their employment of horses and wheeled
carriages, no differences of moment obtain
between the Celtic-speaking and Teutonic
speaking people of old Europe; nor in
their fashion of government, their
social organization, their morality, or
their theology, do there seem to be any
greater differences than are readily accounted
for by the fact that the Teutonic-speaking
nations were more remote from the corrupt
ing influences of wealth and civilization. The
ToDga Islanders of Mariner's time offered
the same contrast to the Tahitians that the
Germans of Tacitus do to the Gauls; but no
one would dream, on that ground, of declar
ing them to be of different races.
Hence, there can bo no reasonable doubt
that the fair element of the Celtic-speaking
population of these islands 11)00 years ago
was simply the western fringe of that vast
stock which can be traced to Central Asia,
and the existence of which on the confines of
China in ancient times is testified by Chinese
annalists. Throughout the central parts of
the immense areas which it covers, the peo
ple of this stock speak Aryan languages be
longing, that is, to the same family as the
old Persian, or Zend, and the Sanskrit. And
they remain still largely represented among
the A Afghans and the Siahpoots on the frontiers
of Persia on the one hand, and Hindostan on
the other. But the old Sanskrit literature
proves that the Aryan population of India
came in from the northwest, at least three
thousand years ago. And in the Vedas these
people portray themselves in characters which
might have fitted the Gauls, the Germans,
or the Goths. Untortunately there is no evi
dence whether they were fair-haired or not.
In India there was a pre-existing dark-complexioned
people more like the Australians
than any one else, and speaking a group of
languages called Drawidian. They were
fenced in on the north by the barrier of the
Himalayas; but the Aryans poured from the
plains of Central Asia over the Himalayas,
into the great river basins of the Indus and
the Ganges, wncre tney nave been, in tne
main, absorbed into the pre-existing
population, leaving as evidonce of their im
migration an extensive niodiuoation of the
physical characters of the population, a lan
guage, and a literature. Italy is to the Alps
what Hindostan is to the Himalayas. The
Po is its Ganges. Four centuries B. 0. it was
peopled mainly by the dark and short stock
represented by Ligurians, Etruscans, and old
Italians. The Gauls ponied into it over the
northwestern passes, and settled in Cis
Alpine Gaul, modifying the physical charac
ters and the language of the population, but
becoming lost eventually in the great Roman
nationality. The correspondence of the
names of places in Gaul and anoient Britain
fully confirms Cnjsur's statement that the
Belgio Gauls had, at some comparatively re
cent time, colonized Southeastern Britain in
great numbers. But the primitive, coloniza
tion of Britain from the mainland by the fair
people is doubtless of extreme antiquity.
I have now, I believe, accounted for the
fair Celtic-speaking population of ancient
Britain. There remains the problem, Why
did Britain contain another Celtic-speaking
population of a totally different type t
The key to this riddle is, I believe with
Dr. Thurman, Bellotniet, and others, afforded
by history and philology. History, which
tells us by the mouths of Cesar, Strabo, and
Tacitus, that the Aquitaine, who lived beyond
the Garonne, were a small and dark people
like the Iberians, who spoke a language dif
ferent from that of Gaul. Philology, which
tells us that this language was the Euskarian,
is represented by the modern Basque, which
is unlike every other European language,
and which once covered a vastly greater area
than it now occupies the great majority of
the people who once spoke it having now
acquired other languages.
j Thus, once more, physical and philological
ethnolocv. properly viewed, concur. The
nhvsicnllv distinot stock turns out to be lin
guistically distinct to have, in fact, all the
ethnological characters of a distinct race.
' In Spain and in the old Aquitania the
Euskarian lancuace lingers only among
fragment of the population which physioally
retains, to a great extent, its dark oomplexion
and short stature. In Britain the same pro
cess of extinction seems t have been con
summated as far back as the time of Tacitus,
For from what has been said it can hardly be
doubted that the Silures and the dark type in
general were the outliers of the continental
Enskdrian-speaklDg dark type, just as the
British Belgm, Bnd the fair type in general,
were the offshoots of the continental Celtic
speaking fair type. And just m in Wostern
and Middle Gaul, and in Spain, the Celtio
speaking fair people had, even in the time of
Cii'sar, largely supplanted and absorbed the
dark stock, so in Britain, it is to be supposed
that it had altogether absorbed it, and that
the dark stock had given np their Euskarian
for the Celtic language.
All these reasonings may be thus put into
the form of a probable hypothesis. The
chain of the Alps, the densely wooded high
lands of Central Europe, known in old times
as the Hercynian forest, with the broad Rhine
in its lower course, form a natural compact
between the vast central plains of Eurasia and
Western and Southern Europe. Before Eng
land was peopled by the ancestors of its pre
sent population, the latter region, including
the north shore of the Mediterranean, Spain,
Gaul, and perhaps the shores of the Baltic,
were occupied by people of the dark type,
who may by possibility have been the chief
people of the so-called bronze age. These
people occupied the British islands wholly or
in part, and were very probably at first their
sole occupants. And in Spain, France, and
Britain they spoke Euskarian dialects.
During this time the fair stock, with its
Aryan languages, wandered over the great
Enrasiatio plain to the east of the rampart,
from Poland to the frontiers of China, and
from Siberia to those of Persia and India.
But at length the fair people found their vast
plains too narrow or the luxuries beyond its
natural barriers too tempting, and they began
to overflow as "Celts," into Western Europe;
as Zendio and Vedio Aryas, into Persia and
into Hindostan. The Celtic-speaking fair
people, passing into Gaul, partly extirpated
and partly mixed with the pre-existing dark
Eusksrian-speaking population, imposing
their language and habits on all the northern,
middle, and eastern parts of Gaul, and ex
tending widely into Spain. From Gaul they
passed into Britain and Celticized it still
more completely; so that, though much of
the old blood of the dork stock remained, its
language vanished.
Ttie Teutonio-spenking people were simply
another wave of the same great Aryan ocean
of Central Eurasia. They treated the Celtic
speakers exactly as the latter had treated the
dark stock, and before another century has
psissed the Celtic language will probably be as
much a thing of the past in these islands as
the Euskarian is.
If this is a fair picture of the general course
of events, it furnishes the explanation of the
fact from which we started, namely, the
presence in the British Islands of two distinct
ethnical elements a fair and a dark.
