About This Item
1843 INCREDIBLE 1ed Natural History of Man EVOLUTION Science IROQUOIS Indians
James Cowles Prichard was one of the most prolific 19th-century English ethnologists much in part to his studies in natural selection in humans. He wrote important surveys of evolutionary sciences and theories including both 'Physical History of Man' and 'Natural History of Man'. The latter, which proved to be one of the best works on monogenism, describes the commonalities and differences in humans with an emphasis in physical traits.
This 1843 edition of Prichard's 'Natural History of Man' includes 36 full-page color engravings as well as countless other in-text illustrations, perhaps the most desirable is that of the Algonquin and Iroquois Indians!
