Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between race and civilization, arguing that neither intelligence nor achievement can be used as the sole measure of a society's advancement. The author, a renowned anthropologist, rejects the idea of inherent racial superiority and instead posits that environmental factors, such as nutrition, healthcare, and education, play a significant role in shaping human development. Drawing on historical and anthropological research, he examines the concept of primitiveness and argues that it is a culturally relative term that has been used to justify discrimination and colonialism. Ultimately, the book challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about race and to recognize the value of human diversity.
