The Negro's Place In Nature - James Hunt - Bog

The Negro's Place in Nature is a paper presented by James Hunt, a British physician and anthropologist, to the London Anthropological Society in 1864. The paper examines the question of the place of the Negro race in the natural world and argues that they are inferior to the white race. Hunt uses physical and intellectual characteristics to support his claims, including differences in brain size, skull shape, and facial features. He also cites historical and cultural evidence to support his argument, including the lack of significant contributions to civilization by African cultures. The paper was controversial at the time and has since been criticized for its racist and ethnocentric views. However, it remains a significant document in the history of anthropology and the study of race relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
