Publisher's Synopsis
The Races of Men: A Fragment (1850) is a book written by Scottish anatomist and physician Robert Knox. It is a scientific study of human races, exploring the physical and mental characteristics of different groups of people around the world. Knox examines the differences between races in terms of their physical appearance, including skin color, facial features, and body structure, as well as their intellectual and moral capabilities. He also discusses the history of human migration and the development of different races over time. The book was controversial at the time of its publication, as it was seen as promoting racial superiority and justifying colonialism. Today, it is viewed as an important work in the history of scientific racism and anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
