"The Victorian period saw an explosion of new sciences and theories seeking to explain the origin and development of the human being. The theory of evolution was studied and debated along with what was to become known as Social Darwinism, eugenics, miscegenation, hybridization, etc. Scientists set out to analyse differences between human beings and codify what was then known as human "races." ... The object here is to examine the genesis of such theories, the rhetoric brought into play to justify them, and ways in which people reacted to them. The geographical area for the present issue is Great Britain, the Empire and the Commonwealth." ; Collection "Les carnets du Cerpac"; Vol. 5; 517 pages.
