[37] Rev. J.H.  Weeks, Journal Anthropological Institute, 1909, p. 449.  I am informed by a medical correspondent in the United States that inversion is extremely prevalent among American negroes.  “I have good reason to believe,” he writes, “that it is far more prevalent among them than among the white people of any nation.  If inversion is to be regarded as a penalty of ‘civilization’ this is remarkable.  Perhaps, however, the Negro, relatively to his capacity, is more highly civilized than we are; at any rate his civilization has been thrust upon him, and not acquired through the long throes of evolution.  Colored inverts desire white men as a rule, but are not averse to men of their own race.  I believe that 10 per cent, of Negroes in the United States are sexually inverted.”

[38] Among the Papuans of German New Guinea, where the women have great power, marriage is late, and the young men are compelled to live separated from the women in communal houses.  Here, says Moskowski (Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie, 1911, Heft 2, p. 339), homosexual orgies are openly carried on.

[42] In further illustration of this I have been told that among the common people there is often no feeling against connection with a woman per anum.

[43] Chevalier (L’Inversion Sexuelle, pp. 85-106) brings forward a considerable amount of evidence regarding homosexuality at Rome under the emperors.  See also Moll, Kontraere Sexualempfindung, 1899, pp. 56-66, and Hirschfeld, Homosexualitaet, 1913, pp. 789-806.  On the literary side, Petronius best reveals the homosexual aspect of Roman life about the time of Tiberius.
