The Living Races Of Mankind: A Popular Illustrated Account of the Customs, Habits, Pursuits, Feats and Ceremonies of the Races of Mankind Throughout the World Volume 2 Vols. Set [Hardcover]

Language: English. About The Book : It is not possible to enumerate here the many valuable papers in geographical and other journals to which the writers are largely indebted, nor to the many important books of travel by which our knowledge has been so vastly increased of late years. The works of Lieutenant Peary, Dr. Sven Hedin, Dr. Gregory, Sir Harry Johnston, Stanley, Nansen, Younghusband, and others, have been of the greatest service to ethnologists, and the writers have freely drawn upon the latest and fullest sources of information. With a view to simplicity, and the avoidance of the difficult problems of race-relationship, the various peoples described are treated from a geographical standpoint. To a large extent the geographical arrangement agrees with the purely ethnographical classification. Nearly all races, however, are mixed, there being few pure types anywhere. All the ingenious schemes of classification as yet put forward by ethnologists are provisional and temporary ; but it is convenient to retain the use of such familiar terms as Caucasian, Mongolian, Polynesian, Negro, Negrito, and Papuan.
