Abstract
AVOWEDLY and of intention, Sir Arthur Keith in this little book has departed from the tacit understanding among anthropologists that they should not in any way trespass on politics; but, as he says, it is impossible to write about human races without touching upon matters which concern statesmen just as much as anthropologists. In fact, Sir Arthur, in hoping that he may induce politically-minded people to study the problems of race from an anthropological point of view, is doing no more than extend to international affairs that practical application of anthropology for which we have pressed in the administration of the dependent races of the British Empire.
Ethnos: or the Problem of Race considered from a New Point of View.
