Sinossi
Excerpt from Diet and Race: Anthropological Essays
The first two of these essays were written many years ago. They were to have been but two of a number dealing with the effect of diet on 'racial' characteristics. The type and volume of work which has fallen to my lot since then has made it quite impossible for me to continue on the lines laid out, and I cannot see much opportunity of doing so in the future. So I offer them to the public now, with the addition of some few pages on cranial form.
The first essay outlines a manner of approach to the question of relationship between diet and physique: the brief summary of the foods of different peoples with which it ends bears out, in respect of stature, the general truth of conclusions drawn a priori. The second essay, Diet and Colour, is fairly comprehensive: it is for the reader to judge if the case for associating colour with the salt content of the system is made out. That there is, at any rate, a case for further inquiry will, I think, be conceded: it should be an inquiry as to how far the presence of sodium chloride in the blood, by its effect on the mobility of the blood corpuscles, or in some other way, retards or prevents the deposit of pigment - an inquiry for the biological chemist. The last essay, Diet and Cranial Form, is suggestive only: again it is for the reader to draw his own conclusions.
It may be that the perusal of these pages will stimulate some one to exploit completely the field I have ventured to look into: such an occurrence would be sufficient justification for their publication.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores connections between diet and notable physical characteristics seen in different races. With thorough research, the author demonstrates how dietary habits have shaped human features, exemplified through compelling comparisons between twelve distinct populations. These comparisons illustrate how factors such as skin color, stature, and muscular development align with specific diets of each group. Highlighting the influence of dietary salt intake on skin tone, the book presents a thought-provoking argument that challenges conventional assumptions on the causes of racial differences. The author's examination prompts a deeper understanding of human diversity and encourages critical reflection on the complex relationship between diet and physical attributes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330169230_0
