Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the interrelation between race, culture, and intellect in the formation of the British people. The author begins by examining paleolithic peoples who first inhabited Western Europe and whose physical characteristics and mental development laid the groundwork for subsequent populations. The author details the evolution of the human skull as the most reliable indication of race, explaining how the elongated shape of early skulls gave way to the broad-headed skulls of later peoples. Further illustrating the development of man's intellect, the author analyzes the increasingly complex and refined stone tools and weaponry of prehistoric peoples. The author uses evidence of physical remains, including skulls, alongside environmental and cultural clues to piece together the lives and evolution of these ancient peoples and their descendants, demonstrating how their environment shaped their social and intellectual qualities.
