Description
Types of Mankind is a significant historical text in ethnological research, originally published in the 19th century by J.C. Nott and George R. Gliddon, with contributions from Samuel George Morton. The work presents an extensive examination of human races based on archaeological evidence, including ancient monuments, paintings, sculptures, and cranial analysis.
The authors employ scientific methodologies of their era to classify and study different human populations across historical periods and geographical regions. Drawing from Morton’s renowned cranial collection and measurements, the text combines visual evidence from ancient civilizations with comparative anatomical studies. While the work is considered foundational to the history of anthropology, it reflects the racial theories and scientific perspectives of the 19th century.
This hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House serves as an important resource for understanding the development of ethnological thought and the evolution of anthropological science. Scholars and historians interested in the history of race science, archaeology, and the development of ethnological disciplines will find this comprehensive volume essential.
