The Biology of the Race Problem is a book written by Wesley Critz George that explores the scientific and biological aspects of race and racism. Published in 1914, this book presents a controversial and now outdated view of race relations, but it is still considered a significant work in the history of race studies.The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the discussion of race and biology. George argues that race is a biological concept and that different races have distinct physical and mental characteristics. He also contends that race is not just a social construct, but a biological reality that has a significant impact on human behavior and social organization.The Biology of the Race Problem then delves into the different races and their characteristics, with a particular focus on the white and black races. George argues that the white race is superior to the black race in terms of intelligence, morality, and physical ability. He also suggests that the black race is inherently inferior and that this is due to their biological makeup.Throughout the book, George uses scientific language and concepts to support his arguments, drawing on fields such as biology, psychology, and anthropology. He also cites various studies and experiments to support his claims about race and biology.While The Biology of the Race Problem has been widely criticized for its racist and outdated views, it remains an important work in the history of race studies. It provides insight into the scientific and biological ideas that were prevalent in the early 20th century and sheds light on the origins of racial prejudices and stereotypes that continue to affect society today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
