Changes In Bodily Form Of Descendants Of Immigrants is a book published in 1911 by the United States Immigration Commission. The book is a comprehensive study of the physical changes that occur in the descendants of immigrants to the United States. The study was conducted over a period of several years and involved the examination of thousands of individuals from various ethnic backgrounds.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the physical changes that occur in the descendants of immigrants. The first chapter provides an overview of the study and explains the methodology used to collect and analyze data. Subsequent chapters examine changes in height, weight, chest size, head size, and other physical characteristics.The book also includes detailed data tables and charts that illustrate the changes in physical characteristics over time. The authors of the book conclude that the descendants of immigrants do exhibit physical changes over time, but that these changes are not necessarily negative. In fact, the authors suggest that the physical changes observed in the descendants of immigrants may be beneficial, as they may reflect adaptations to a new environment.Overall, Changes In Bodily Form Of Descendants Of Immigrants is an important work of early 20th-century social science. It provides valuable insights into the ways in which immigration and assimilation can impact physical characteristics, and it remains a valuable resource for researchers and scholars today.Reports Of The Immigration Commission.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
