As I am now translating Gould's Mismeasure of Man into Turkish, I found this article very interesting. However, there are some points which I found underemphasized. I can summarize them as follows:

1. Gould, in Mismeasure of Man, say in the calculation of the Indian mean in Crania Americana, the subsamples' means are not broken down. In other words he says the Indian mean was not calculated by taking into account a simple rule: subsamples should have equal number of skulls, and then the average of subsamples' means should be taken to calculate the mean. I could not understand how do you refute this simple logic. Because it does not seem to be a statistical trick. Instead what Morton does seems to be a statistical trick. Gould does not say anywhere, that Morton never ever calculated the Indian subsamples' means, so I think emphasizing that Morton did indeed calculated these numbers could not refute Gould. He says that he does not take them into account properly, meaning each subsample should have equal number of skulls. And could you please explain why this is a statistical trick, and what Morton does, is not. Because it is not clear in the article.

2. Gould rightly mentions about the relationship and body size. And determines a bias of including or excluding on Morton's part and tries to correct his measurement taking into account this. Not arbitrarily. He gives all the reasons why he excluded for example 3 Hotentots and included Hindu subsample. For the Indian mean in Morton's final summary he did not use the seed measurement, but takes into account the same principle of calculating the mean by breaking into equal subsamples. He does not say that he takes into account the seed measurement.

3. It is true that he did not himself measure the skulls, so also emphasizing this also creates an impression that Gould talked as if he measured. However he does not. He also tells what he does and what he sees in very clear terms. But, I get the impression that he gave a shot for both methods of measuring. I found this article interesting because it claims, ironically Gould's own bias blinded him to favorable results for Indians and other groups. And I really wished to see that you put it more convincingly.
