Abstract
THE Contemporary Science Series has been enriched by the addition of this very valuable work on general anthropology by Dr. J. Deniker, the distinguished Chief Librarian of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, who is well known for his original contributions to that science. Dr. Deniker has read widely, and at various times has systematised the writings of others. These are necessary qualifications for the writer of a general survey of the science of man; but in addition, our author has made investigations in various departments of physical anthropology which give a precision to his treatment, and this element of first-hand knowledge causes the reader to feel more reliance on his judgment than might otherwise have been the case.
The Races of Man: an Outline of Anthropology and Ethnography.
By J. Deniker. With 176 illustrations and two maps. Pp. 611. (London: Walter Scott, Ltd., 1900).
