Actions and Events by Geoffrey Warnock

by Philip D. Curtin Professor of History in the University of Wisconsin
At the turn of the nineteenth century it was the accepted dogma of Western pseudo-science that the different races of man were as distinct in their natural capabilities as they were in physical appearance. Professor Curtin examines the racial theories of the period and the influence they had on the growth and conduct of Empire-their role in shaping a great part of the world in which we live.
