Book Overview

""The Races of Britain: A Contribution to the Anthropology of Western Europe"" is a book written by John Beddoe and published in 1885. It is a comprehensive study of the different ethnic groups that have inhabited Britain throughout history, with a particular focus on the physical characteristics, cultural practices, and genetic makeup of these groups. Beddoe draws on a wide range of sources, including historical records, archaeological evidence, and his own observations and measurements of living populations, to provide a detailed account of the various races that have contributed to the British gene pool. He also explores the impact of migration, invasion, and intermarriage on the ethnic makeup of Britain over time.
