Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs Read Before the Anthropological Society of London, 1863-4, Vol. 1
I. - 0n the Negro's Place in Nature.* By james hunt, ph.d., Foreign Associate of the Anthropological Society of Paris, Honorary Fellow of the Ethnological Society of London, Corresponding Member of the Upper Hesse Society for Natural and Medical Science, etc., etc., and President of the Anthropological Society of London.
I propose in this communication to discuss the physical and mental characters of the Negro, With a view of determining not only his position in animated nature, but also the station to be assigned to him in the genus homo. I Shall necessarily have to go over a wide field, and cannot hope to treat the subject in an exhaustive manner. I Shall be amply satisfied if I succeed in directing the attention of my scientific friends to a study of this most important and hitherto nearly neglected branch of the great science of Anthropology.
