Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Human Races: A Sketch of Classifications; A Chapter in Anthropology
Information and much of it, interest on a large scale. And a sufficient shaking up of old prejudices concerning the nature of man and of man's relation to Nature were necessary before there could be much progress in the science of man himself. With the appearance of Prichard's Natural History of Man in1843. We might say that the new science had embryonic form. How the scientist sighs as he thinks that this date is three hundred years from Vesalius. And yet the science of human organism and human organization is still unborn. There is not and can be no real science till man is regarded as natural, as much a part of Nature as aught else that lives. The logical inference from other sciences was. That if man was organic. He must be under the laws of organisms. If he belongs to the animal kingdom. He must be compared with the rest. If they have developed and transformed to more complex species. So has he. If natural law can treat their phenomena. So can it his. Man is but the climax of natural laws and powers. Men of science inferred this But some one must undertake the labor and give the reasons for it. Not till this was done could there be an Anthropology.
