About This Book

The author offers a racial interpretation of European history that emphasizes heredity and somatic traits as shaping political and cultural developments. He classifies European populations into Nordic, Alpine, and Mediterranean types, surveys their physical characters, habitats, prehistoric migrations, and historical expansions, and examines relations among race, language, and nationality. The work includes archaeological and linguistic material, maps, and a documentary supplement, and advocates eugenic policies aimed at conserving and promoting particular hereditary traits.
