The Character of Races (Classic Reprint): As Influenced by Physical Environment, Natural Selection and Historical Development: As Influenced by ... and Historical Development (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how environment shapes race and history, and what that means for our understanding of human development. This non-fiction work surveys how physical surroundings and historical change interact with natural selection to influence racial character and cultural progress.
The book frames a broad argument about how climate, landscape, and social forces shape nations across time. It uses specific historical cases to show how migrations, famines, and war have selected certain traits while leaving others behind, helping readers see why different peoples can develop distinct strengths and social patterns.
- A clear lens on how geography and environment relate to racial traits and cultural outcomes.
- A detailed discussion of population movements, selection, and long-term consequences for societies.
- Case studies that connect climate, famine, and conflict to shifts in population and character.
- A structure that invites readers to weigh evidence about biology, environment, and history without hype.
Ideal for readers of history, anthropology, and geography who want a grounded look at how place shapes people.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of racial character, exploring the intricate interplay of factors that have shaped human diversity throughout history. Challenging the notion of fixed racial traits, the author posits that racial character is a dynamic product of inheritance, environment, and social forces. Drawing upon historical examples, the author illustrates how migration, a strenuous process involving natural selection, has played a pivotal role in molding racial traits. The book examines how arduous journeys across diverse landscapes have selected for specific physical and mental attributes, ultimately shaping the character of populations. The author delves into the rise and fall of civilizations, highlighting the impact of factors such as climate, disease, and cultural practices on racial character. He explores the concept of racial degeneration, suggesting that the cessation of active selection and the dilution of selected traits through intermarriage can lead to a decline in abilities over time. This thought-provoking exploration of racial character offers valuable insights into the complex forces that have shaped human diversity and the potential for both progress and decline within racial groups.
