The anthropological features of Armenian and Assyrian (Aissori) women
By C.U. ARIËNS KAPPERS
And, for those curious, "Aisor," is what the Armenians call us. As they have, throughout the many centuries. We call the Armenians, "Armānī." As we have, likewise, since antiquity.The same resemblance existing between the Armenian and Assyrian males, the relations with both sexes point to a common origin of the Armenians and Aissori.
The stock from which both peoples originate is the Subarean or Ponto-Zagrian stock (E. SPElSER 2), to which the proto-Armenians (Hittites) and probably the majority of the ancient Assyrians belong.
Of the anthropological status of the Hittites and ancient Assyrians little is known since hitherto no skulls of these peoples are found with certainty.
The only way to know something about their somatic, especially cephalic features is to study ancient sculptures and mural engravings.
