167 : 13 _seq._ R. G. Latham was the first to propound the theory of the
European origin of the Indo-Europeans. He says that there is “a tacit
assumption that as the east is the probable quarter in which either the
human species or the greater part of our civilization originated,
everything came from it. But surely in this there is a confusion between
the primary diffusion of mankind over the world at large and those
secondary movements by which, according to even the ordinary hypothesis,
the Lithuanians, etc., came from Asia into Europe.”
167 : 17. See _The So-Called North European Race of Mankind_, by G.
Retzius. Linnæus and DeLapouge were the first to use this term, _homo
Europæus_. See Ripley, pp. 103 and 121.

accustomed to wear long.
