Excerpt from Our Neighbors: The Chinese Islands, in the same class as the true Cau casian, while it is repulsive to think of them as precisely the same as the typical African negro. Count Gobineau put forward the theory that the yellow race was originally created in America. Of course he did not pretend to say in just what part of our continent the great miracle of evolution from brute to human was performed, yet he seemed to think there were some advantages for the peoples of the western part of North Amer ica over those of the eastern, and that these advantages were shared by the Peruvians and some other peoples. In taking this strange position, Gobineau intimated that the yellow race has a tremendously long record in point of time, and in that respect was a race of great dignity. Because, if that theory is correct, the migration of the yellow people to Asia must have been at a time so long ago as to have made no marks which at present survive in the myths and legends of the Chinese or their predecessors in any part of Asia.
