Contiene: This study of the relationship between race and culture holds an important place in twentieth-century scientific literature. For not until its publication were scientists who refused to accept theories of racial superiority and inferiority able to point to a single comprehensive work in which data were presented in terms of wider implications and known facts marshalled to answer disputed questions. The author insists that there is no fundamental difference in the ways of thinking of primitive and civilized man. A close connection between race and personality has never been established. The concept of racial type as commonly used even in scientific literature is misleading and requires a logical as well as a biological redefinition.
