On the Origin of the Native Races of America (Classic Reprint): A Dissertation: A Dissertation (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Origins of the American peoples and the search for their beginnings unfold in a classic, scholarly work. This edition sets Grotius’s discussion against a long history of navigation, language study, and cross-cultural exploration, inviting readers to weigh early theories about who arrived in the Americas and how scholars argued for their conclusions.
The text surveys ancient and medieval ideas about the origins of native populations, traces the rise of multilingual scholarship in Europe, and considers the role of exploration in shaping our understanding of world geography. It blends historical argument with reflections on travel, navigation, and the exchange of languages, offering a window into how ideas about origins were formed long before modern research.
- Understand early arguments about where and how Indigenous peoples in the Americas began.
- See how scholars connected language, culture, and migration across continents.
- Explore the history of navigation and travel that influenced geographical knowledge.
- Learn why 16th‑ and 19th‑century readers asked big questions about discovery and origin.
Ideal for readers of historical scholarship and those curious about the roots of geographic and linguistic study, this edition of the work offers context and careful argument for a longstanding inquiry into the origins of the American races.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's exploration of the origins of the diverse peoples who inhabited the American continents before European arrival. The author examines the theory that all Native American tribes descended from a Scythian origin, but argues instead that those tribes north of the Isthmus of Panama are of Norse descent, while the tribes to the south descended from Chinese immigrants. The author posits that a combination of factors led to the divergence of Native American languages, including the presence of different ethnic groups, the lack of a common government, and the scattering of families into isolated groups. He also discusses the broader history of worldwide expeditions and advancements in the study of foreign languages. This volume provides a broad, comprehensive look at the diverse origins of Native American peoples, the evolution of their languages, and the history of exploration and scholarship in these areas.
