Dear Sir: - Born in a slave State, and having passed our childhood and manhood in daily intercourse with the white and black races, it is but natural that you and I should have become deeply impressed not only by the physical but also by the moral and intellectual differences which exist between them: nor is it less natural that a doubt as to their common origin should suggest itself to our minds.
Twenty-five years of unceasing professional intercourse with these races, and study of their diseases, anatomy and physiology, a careful perusal of all the leading works published in the French and English languages on the Natural History of Man, from Camper and Blumenbach down to the present day, and an examination of the earliest known records of nations, both written and monumental, have not only served to strengthen this doubt in my mind, but have ripened it into a firm conviction that tho Almighty in his wisdom has peopled our vast planet from many distant centres, instead of one, and with races or species origin ally and radically distinct.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges a prevailing belief in the unity of the human species. The author, whose work is grounded in ethnography and a critical survey of biblical texts, argues that the Old and New Testaments provide evidence for the diversity of humans rather than their common ancestry. The author refutes the idea that physical and intellectual differences between races are attributable to environmental factors, instead suggesting that each race possesses immutable traits. This book sheds light on the history of humans and the origins of race, and its insights have substantial implications for our understanding of human diversity and the social issues that stem from it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
