Beschreibung

This paper "offers an outline of the general considerations bearing on the mutations and movements of races; sketches the racial history of one country that we know best historically - Egypt; provides an outline of the changes in one great period where they are best recorded, the convulsions of Europe from Augustus to Charles the Great." - page 1. Sir Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), was a British Egyptologist and a pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology and the preservation of artefacts. He remains controversial for his pro-eugenics views; he was a dedicated believer in the superiority of the Northern peoples over the Latinate and Southern peoples. He has been referred to as the 'father of Egyptian archaeology'". - Wikipedia. Reprinted from the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, Vol. XXXVI. 44 pages [with plates XIX-XXIX]. Former library copy but marked with only three internal rubber stamps. Openings to each end of covers at spine. Somewhat above-average wear. Chips from each end of backstrip. Binding intact. A worthy vintage copy of this fascinating work.; Sm 4to. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 734j0694
