دانلود کتاب Race and Modern Science - A Collection of Essays by Anthropologists, Sociologists and Psychologists

The sixteen monographs in this volume by natural and social scientists, many of whom are internationally known and recognized as authorities in their fields, explore the differences between the races of man. To facilitate its use as a reference work, Race and Modern Science is divided into four parts: Anthropology, Biology, Sociology and Psychology. Some of the various aspects of the race question discussed in the essays are: The anthropological history and racial systematics of the races of man; The history of racial classification and the principles underlying the morphological approach to racial systematics. The relation between race, heredity and the rise and fall of peoples and civilizations; A review of past research on interracial and subracial crosses and results of studies of the offspring of Italian mothers and colored fathers in postwar Italy; The basic principles of population genetics and genetic basis of racial differences; the interrelationships between race, genetics, history and the structure of society, and the interaction between culture and biology throughout the evolutionary history of man; The concept of race in contemporary social theory and the roots of racial preference and group identity; the relation between race and culture with works of art as a guide to racial differences in psychological traits; the difference between Negroes and Whites in psychological test scores; The problem of measuring mental differences between primitive or non-literate racial and ethnic groups.
