Until Darwin, Science, Human Variety and the Origins of Race (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This work fills a gap in recent studies on the history of race and science. Focusing on both the classification systems of human variety and the development of science as the arbiter of truth, Brown looks at the rise of the emerging sciences of life and society - biology and sociology - as well as the debate surrounding slavery and abolition.
