On The Phenomena Of Hybridity In The Genus Homo

By Paul Broca and C Carter Blake

Book Overview

On The Phenomena Of Hybridity In The Genus Homo is a book written by Paul Broca, a French physician and anthropologist, published in 1864. The book explores the concept of hybridity in humans, specifically in the Homo genus. Broca examines the physical and intellectual characteristics of individuals who are the product of two different races or ethnic groups, and how these characteristics are inherited. He also discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of hybridity, as well as the social and cultural implications of racial mixing. The book is considered to be an important contribution to the field of anthropology and has had a significant impact on the study of race and genetics. However, it should be noted that Broca's views on race and hybridity have been criticized for their scientific inaccuracies and racist undertones.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
