In this groundbreaking study, Georges Pouchet challenges prevailing notions of human biology and race. Drawing on extensive research in anthropology, anatomy, and physiology, Pouchet argues that there is no scientific basis for the categorization of humans into distinct races. Instead, he asserts that all humans belong to a single, heterogeneous species with a complex and diverse range of physical and cultural traits.
