Since the second half of the eighteenth century, generations of
scientists persisted in studying the relationships between the
volume, weight or shape of the human brain and the degree of
'intelligence'. In Pogliano's book, the thread of time drives the
narrative up to the mid-twentieth century. It investigates the
duration and changes of a game that was intrinsically political,
although having to do with bones and nervous matter. Races made its
main object, during a long period when Western culture believed the
human species to be naturally partitioned into a number of discrete
types, with their innate and hereditary traits. Never leading to
irrefutable achievements, the polycentric (as well as visual)
enterprise herein described is full of growing tensions, doubts,
and disillusionment.
