Synopsis
Excerpt from The Unity of the Human Race: A Lecture Delivered Before the Members of the Belleville Young Men's Christian Association, on the Evening of the 19th March, 1860; And Now Published at Their Request
In calling attention to a theme which is probably compa ratively new to many in this community, it is a sufficient apology to say, that from its important scientific, religious, and practical bearings, it is daily exciting increasing interest in the great centres of thought on both sides of the Atlantic, and that 1t has already, in many quarters, become the battle ground between Christianity and Infidelity. Until a recent period it has been the received belief, both of philosophers and of christians, that the whole human family, in all its varieties of color, and physical conformation, sprang originally from a common stock, which God created and placed in Eden.

The Unity of the Human Race (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the arguments surrounding the origin of the human race, presenting the contrasting viewpoints that either support or refute the idea of a single origin point for all humans. Drawing on scientific evidence, linguistics, traditions, and religious writings, the author dissects the claims of those who posit multiple origins. By examining the diversity of human appearances, including skin color, hair texture, and skull shape, the book challenges the notion that these variations are indicative of separate origins. Countering the idea that such differences emerged due to environmental factors alone, the author posits that human varieties may have arisen from a common stock through the influence of general laws operating throughout history. Through this comprehensive analysis, the book illuminates the complex and multifaceted nature of human diversity while underscoring the underlying unity of the human family. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259469711_0
