The second study concerns physical examination of Sumerian skulls. Buxton and Rice have found that of 26 Sumerian crania they examined 22 were Australoid or Austrics. Further According to Penniman who studied skulls from other Sumerian sites, the
Australoid Eurafrican, Austric and Armenoid were the
“racial” types associated with the Sumerians. Here is Penniman’s description of the Austric type found at Sumer:
“These people are of medium stature, with complexion and hair like those of the Eurafrican, to which race they are allied with dark eyes, and oval faces, broad noses, rather feeble jaws, and slight sinewy bodies.”
This description also closely describes the regal person seen on a famous clay tablet from the
Indus Valley. This same tribe in an evolved version undoubtedly established the
Indus civilization as well as the Sumerian one after the submergence of their coastal cities.
In North-western India they would have encountered Neolithic people of Indo-European origin with which manpower they established the Indus cities.
