Deconstructing Prehumanity is an investigation into the role of
archaeological perception in the construction of race. It explores
how social knowledge and disciplinary subjectivity have shaped our
organization of the human past and how this organization and its
lexicon have fueled racialism. The idea of an African prehuman
hierarchy powers American race relations in a damaging way.
Scientific physical distinctions used in ethnological studies
quantified and qualified physical and "racial" differences among
so-called African prehumans, all of which plague human social
relations as they extend harmful ideas about peoples of African
descent. This book delves into the evolution of terms and utilizes
Africana studies to present the systematic reconstruction of a
black past. By reviewing ethnological studies, nomenclature, and
how such processes play a role in conceiving African origins, the
multidisciplinary work supplies explanations about notions of
African nature, culture, and race as prehuman. It explicates
paleoanthropological categories and connects them to racialized
inferences. Deconstructing Prehumanity is intended for readers
looking to understand how perceptions about human origins add to
racialization as it proffered a utilitarian past.
