Synopsis

This book delves into the anthropological theories of race, tracing the development of the subject from its inception to the early 20th century. It includes excerpts from the works of Franz Boas, Felix von Luschan, and other leading scholars, providing a comprehensive overview of racial studies during that period. The book examines the scientific views on race, the concepts of race and savagery, and the evolution of human types. Moreover, it sheds light on the impact of environment and cultural factors on human physical characteristics, challenging prevailing notions of racial inferiority and superiority prevalent at the time. The book's insights into the complexity of human origins and diversity challenge simplistic categorizations and emphasize the unity of the human species.
