It is certain that blond, lone headed men once played a great role in history, for it was they who colonized Galatia and brought home the treasures of Greece and Italy to .Toulouse, who overthrew the Roman empire in the west and won England from the Brit ons. 11 is equally certain that this physical type was once much more dominant and widely distributed than it is now and that it is tending to die out. This is especially true of that pronounced form of blonds which is distinguished by red hair. Red haired persons do not now constitute the majority in any known tribe or nation, but one authority sets forth grounds for thinking that red hair was once much more prevalent. it must have occurred, for instance, among the Brahmans, since they were ! forbidden by the laws of Manu to marry red haired women. There is no i doubt that blonds and red haired per : sous are still encountered about the Hindoo Kush, among the tribes from whom the Brahmans are supposed to I have been immigrants. But obedience 4-40 th.- !;("• »..A'.a:,0u.,l Would Ju the I course of tim«. annihilate the tendency to their reproduction.
