Publisher's Synopsis
The book titled ""Character of Races As Influenced by Physical Environment, Natural Selection and Historical Development"" is written by Ellsworth Huntington. The book explores the impact of physical environment, natural selection, and historical development on the character and behavior of different races. The author argues that the physical environment, such as climate and geography, has a significant impact on the physical and mental characteristics of different races. Natural selection, on the other hand, plays a role in shaping the physical and mental traits of a race over time. Historical development, including cultural and societal factors, also influences the character of races. The book covers a wide range of topics related to race, including the influence of climate on race, the effects of migration on race, and the relationship between race and intelligence. The book is a comprehensive study of the factors that shape the character of different races and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.1925. Why did such meteoric intellectual brilliancy occur in Greece? Why are such wonderful Hindu ruins located in Cambodia in Indo-China? What has a high type of culture been able to persist for a thousand years in stormy Iceland? And why do we see in China the curious anomaly of a progressive South and a conservative North? After years of search, Mr. Huntington believes that at least a partial explanation is found in natural selection arising most frequently under the stress of over-population and migration. The principle involved is so simple and obvious that it seems almost incredible that it has been so largely ignored by students of geography, history and sociology. This work is the result of his research.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
