Excerpt from The Races of Man: And Their Geographical Distribution
Last autumn, however, when after nearly five years a portion of the proof was ready, it appeared that, owing to the shattered state of his health, His Excellency F ield-marshal Count Roon was for the time unable to examine the contents of the Ethnology, and that although he intended to do so when convalescent, yet if such delay should be prejudicial to the author and the publisher, he urged an immediate publication of the work, but that in this case any mention of his name on the title-page must be omitted. Any longer delay was indeed undesirable, for the rapidity with which writings grow old, owing to the present activity of science, more especially in the province of ethnology, was painfully im pressed upon the author while his work was in the press, by the appearance of several new investigations, of which he was unable to make use. T bus in the early chapters the Mohammedan monarchy at Talifu was described as' extant and prosperous, whereas, according to the latest intelligence, the Chinese destroyed it in 1872.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a foundational text of anthropology, explores the diversity of humankind across the globe, discussing physical, linguistic, and cultural characteristics of human populations. The author grapples with the tension between unity and plurality in the human species, beginning with the question of whether humans and apes share a common ancestor, then exploring the question of whether and how different races of humankind diverged from a single, original population. The author uses evidence from a range of fields, including anatomy, linguistics, and archaeology, to support the idea that all humans are descended from a common ancestor, and argues that while there is great diversity among human populations, this diversity is the product of adaptation to different environments and historical experiences rather than evidence of distinct origins. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
