by Josiah Clark Nott (Author), George Robins Gliddon (Author)

""Types of Mankind: Or Ethnological Researches, Based Upon The Ancient Monuments, Paintings, Sculptures, And Crania Of Races"" is a book written by Josiah Clark Nott in 1854. The book is a comprehensive study of the different races of mankind, their physical characteristics, and their origins. Nott's research is based on the examination of ancient monuments, paintings, sculptures, and crania of various races. The book covers a wide range of topics including the physical differences between races, their intellectual and moral capacities, and their potential for civilization. It also explores the history of different races, their migration patterns, and their interactions with each other. The book is a seminal work in the field of ethnology and was widely read and referenced in the 19th century. However, it has also been criticized for its racist and pseudoscientific views on race. Despite its controversial nature, ""Types of Mankind"" remains an important historical document in the study of race and ethnicity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
