| Summary | "The Races of Man: An Outline of Anthropology and Ethnography" by Joseph Deniker is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the interdisciplinary fields of anthropology and ethnography, providing a condensed overview of various human races and their physical, social, and cultural characteristics. Deniker's objective is to present essential facts that form the basis of these sciences, while also summarizing existing theories surrounding human classification. At the start of the book, the author lays the groundwork for discussions on the complexities of classifying humans into distinct races and ethnic groups. He critiques the application of zoological taxonomy to humans, emphasizing the diversity of physical types, languages, and customs across different populations. The opening section sets the stage for a systematic exploration of human variability, seeking to define key terms such as "people," "race," and "species," while underscoring that ethnic groups are often composites of multiple somatological units. This framework prepares the reader for a detailed examination of both morphological and physiological traits that distinguish various human races throughout the subsequent chapters.
