The Negro S Place In Nature

Excerpt from The Negro's Place in Nature: A Paper Read Before the London Anthropological Society I propose in this communication to discuss the physical and mental charac ters of the Negro, with a view of deter mining not only his position in animated nature, but also the station he should occupy in the genus Homo.
