- 1948, Alfred Louis Kroeber, Anthropology: race, language, culture, psychology, pre-history,, pages 173–174:
- The majority of such typings are bipolar, and they amount in the last analysis to saying that there are broader-bodied and narrower-bodied individuals in every group. To put this simple and in itself harmless finding learnedly, we substitute the terms “eurysome” and “leptosome.”
