Published in 1920, this volume puts forward a view of humanity
based upon racial categorisation and taxonomy. Racial groups are
analysed in terms of culture, geographical location, physiology,
and temperament in order to reach conclusions regarding their
innate characteristics. The text has value as a historical source
reflecting, as it does, the prejudices of the time in which it was
written. It also provides an insight into the ethnographical
approach and the colonial mindset. Hingston Quiggin and Haddon
extensively revised this edition from the original 1899 text
written by Keane, reflecting the high level of interest in
ethnography during the period. It will provide a useful resource
for anyone with an interest in the history of anthropology and the
colonial period.
