"A Racial Study of the Fijians" by Norman E. Gabel is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This anthropological work provides an in-depth physical survey of the native male population of Fiji, focusing on the characteristics of the Fijians through anthropometric methods. The book covers various aspects of their physical traits, examining differences among regional populations and offering comparative analysis with neighboring groups. The opening of this work sets a clear framework for examining the physical characteristics of the Fijian male population based on data collected during a seven-month stay in the islands. The introduction outlines the research objectives, which include describing the Fijians as a whole, comparing them with neighboring cultures, and analyzing regional differences. Gabel details his methodology for gathering anthropometric samples, explaining how he collected data from various districts across Fiji to build a comprehensive understanding of the population's physical attributes. The opening also hints at the book's extensive methodology and statistical analysis, promising a thorough exploration of the mixed racial background and diverse characteristics of the Fijian men.
