The authors present the results of morphological, histochemical, and serological analyses of hairs found in the Caucasus and Tyan Shan. Two groups of signs were distinguished: (1) those characteristic of animals, i.e. huge (if judged by the "human" measure) thickness of the hairs and unproportionally large thickness of the core of a hair at some sites, and (2) signs characteristic of humans: the structure of the cuticle and cortical layer, features of pigment distribution, irregular thickness of the core at various portions of a hair, as well as histochemical and serological findings. The examined samples cannot be identified with any known mammalian hairs. There are more elements characteristic of humans than of animals in these hairs and they may belong to a higher primate.
作者展示了在高加索地区和天山发现的毛发的形态学、组织化学和血清学分析结果。区分出了两组特征：（1）动物特有的特征，即毛发极粗（若以“人类”标准衡量）以及某些部位毛发髓质厚度不成比例地大；（2）人类特有的特征：角质层和皮质层的结构、色素分布特征、毛发不同部位髓质厚度不规则，以及组织化学和血清学结果。所检测的样本无法与任何已知哺乳动物的毛发相鉴别。这些毛发中具有人类特征的元素比动物特征的元素更多，它们可能属于高等灵长类动物。
