How does the time traveler first portray the Eloi people?

The Eloi people "uniformly curly hair, that came to a sharp end at the neck and the cheek; there was not the faintest suggestion of it on the face, and their ears were singularly minute... The eyes were large and mild."(30) He was surprised by the way that the human culture and design had evolved, or should I say devolved. The creature had come up to him making a noise imitating thunder. "The question had come into my (time traveler) abruptly: were these creatures fools?...You see I had always anticipated that the people of Eight Hundred and Two Thousand odd would be incredibly in front of us in knowledge, art, everything."(31) The Time Traveler is upset, because he had portrayed the people of the future to be more advanced.
