[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the questioner: [qb] the last point about the tierra del fuego before this debate is finished Julius Popper states in a speech that some natives of tierra del fuego had woolly hair. "the central portions of tierra de fuego are inhabited by a race of corpulent, strong, and muscular natives, whose height sometimes exceed six feet. their skin is of a clear copper color, and is soft and oily to the touch. their dark, lusterless, woolly hair falls in tufts around a large tonsure, cut close in the top of the head." Monthly Consular and Trade Reports, Volume 23, Issues 81-84 By United States. Bureau of Manufactures pg 392 https://books.google.com/books?id=eExJAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA392&dq=woolly+hair+terra [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/8e/1b/zcChzkiu_o.png[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]^ this author was "induced to make a translation of Julius Popper" _____________________ Actual Julius Popper transcription [QUOTE] http://www.rockvillepress.com/TIERRA/TEXTS/POPPER.HTM , 1887 Exploration of Tierra del Fuego A Lecture Delivered at the Argentine Geographical Institute Julius Popper Argentine Tierra del Fuego is inhabited by an aboriginal race, stout, strong, and muscular, whose stature sometimes exceeds six feet. Their skin is a light copper color, and of a smooth and greasy feel. Around a large tonsure in the middle of the head their dull black hair falls in heavy locks. The oval face is of orthogonal type, the forehead rather narrow, which with the poorly-developed frontal protuberances terminating in prominent and but slightly arched eyebrows, gives to their eyes an expression at once sunken and energetic. Prominent cheek-bones and an almost aquiline nose; a medium-sized mouth, with teeth covered with a yellowish enamel; two or three hairs on the chin, and a pair of hanging and shapeless ears complete a face which reminds one more of the North American Indian than of the Tehuelches, who inhabit the other side of the Straits. Their shoulders are square and strong, their chest broad, and, in the men, prominent and rounded, whilst the women generally have flattened bosoms with flacid, hanging breasts, though I have occasionally seen the latter firm and hemispherical. [/QUOTE]Julius Popper (December 15, 1857 – June 5, 1893), also known in Spanish as Julio Popper, was a Romanian-born Argentine engineer, adventurer and explorer.[1] He was the designer of the modern outline of the city of Havana, Cuba.[2] Known as a modern "conquistador" of Tierra del Fuego in southern South America, he was a controversial but influential figure. Popper was one of the perpetrators of the genocide against the native Selk'nam people.
