Guha \*et al.\*, 1961, regarded them as of Proto-Australoid affinity similar to the Bhils and other aboriginal tribes of c. India. \[But according to the study of Erhardt and Kennedy, 1965, the skeletons ‘indicate traits which are characteristic of Mediterraneans and Veddoids, but which could also include other races.’\] \[Not much information is available on the somatological features of the Mesolithic human remains in the GANGA VALLEY.\] - [Previous: v1.c20.s2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s2.1) - [Next: v1.c20.s2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s2.3) - [Up: v1.c20.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s2) ## Linked texts (1) - [Langhnaj](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.langhnaj) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c20.s2.2) · Pramāṇa
