Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fair. Eighth edition. Original boards show only light wear, with rubbing to corners and wear to foot of spine; binding tight; pages clean with some foxing to early and late pages and near leading edge. A number of pinprick and slightly larger beetle holes near top edge of many pages (see photos). Four foldout charts and illustrations complete. A landmark work of scientific racism by a slaveowner and an Egyptologist, arguing that different races originated separately -- later a common tenet of white supremacist thought. Nott and Gliddon aimed to further the work of skull-measuring racist Samuel George Morton, 'the father of American physical anthropology.' Fascinating and horrific. First published in 1854 and startlingly uncommon in any original edition. 3.3 pounds. 738 pages. U.S. buyers, please contact me for a possible discount.…
