Publisher's Synopsis
The Races of Men: A Fragment is a book written by Robert Knox and first published in 1850. The book explores the different races of humans and their physical characteristics, including their skin color, facial features, and body shape. Knox also examines the cultural and societal differences between these races, including their religions, languages, and customs. The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific races, including the Caucasian, Mongolian, and Negro races. Knox's writing is informed by his experiences as a Scottish surgeon who traveled extensively throughout Asia and Africa, and his observations are often colored by the prevailing racial attitudes of his time. The book is considered an important work in the history of anthropology and race studies, but its conclusions and perspectives have been criticized as being outdated and biased.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
