''Anthropometry of Central California'' is a book written by Franz Boas in 1905. The book focuses on the study of human physical characteristics, particularly the measurement of the human body, also known as anthropometry. Boas conducted his research in Central California, where he measured and recorded the physical characteristics of various Native American tribes, including the Pomo, Wintun, and Yana. The book includes detailed measurements of height, weight, head circumference, and other physical features, as well as photographs of the subjects. Boas’ work is significant in the field of physical anthropology, as it provides valuable insight into the physical diversity of Native American populations in California at the turn of the 20th century. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the anthropology of Native American populations and the history of anthropometry as a scientific discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
