Description
RACES... A STUDY OF THE PROBLEMS OF RACE FORMATION IN MAN
Book Details + Condition: Charles C. Thomas, Publisher (Springfield, Illinois). First Edition, 1950. Hardcover with dust jacket. 147 pages with Index. Illustrated. From the jacket: "A thoroughly modern analysis of the racial differences among the living peoples of the world in-terms of the interplay of hereditary and environmental forces." The study is based on the following premises: human beings differ in their physiological reactions to their different environments and consequently differ in appearance; individuals who resemble each other in observable characteristics tend to be grouped together geographically; therefore, races exist in man as in any other species.

- Adaptive Changes in the Whole Body
- Surface Variations: Adaptations to Excess of Light and Heat Under Different Degrees of Humidity
- Surface Variations: Adaptations to Dry Cold
