...Ales Hrdlicka, of the National Museum at Washington, read a paper arguing that human beings first came to this continent about 10,000 years ago across Bering Strait. He asserted that they were of yellow-brown races, and believes that the first to come were ancestors of the Mayas, Toltecs and early Peruvian tribes, these being followed in turn by Aztecs, Shoshone-Algonquins, and Atabascans...
...York authority, being asked whether he believed them to be scions of the Vikings, Mendelian "sports" of a darker native race, or just half-breeds, replied that he believed them to be myths. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, chief anthropologist of the U. S. National Museum at Washington, expressed the opinion that the blonds were "just plain albinos." If they should turn out to be of mixed white and Indian blood and should also hail from the San Bias region of Panama, that fact would shatter the proud tradition of tribal purity which the warlike San Bias Indians have so long maintained...
...Mongoloid stock, ancestors of the Eskimo and Indians. Many supposedly ice-age human remains in the U. S., when closely investigated, have turned out to be comparatively recent Indians. This is true of the skeletons discovered last year on the La Brea ranch, near Santa Barbara, Calif. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian Institution, recently punctured all discoveries hitherto as not more than 5,000 years old. A human deposit of the late glacial period, found near Trenton, N.

The "cradle of the human race," believed by Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, of the American Museum of Natural History, and other paleontologists to be in Central Asia, was really in Central Europe, according to Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, distinguished physical anthropologist, of the U. S. National Museum. The earliest known true men lived in Europe, and the skeletons of extinct apes have been discovered there. He set the origin of man at 400,000 or 500,000 years...
...deformed female skull, discovered in a Missouri cave, has been received by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the United States National Museum. The shape was probably produced by bandaging the infant head, which was a common practice among the Aymaras and other South American Indian tribes. Only two such skulls had previously been found in North America...
