Prof. Dr. Thomas Junker (Tübingen): Blumenbach’s theory of human races and the natural unity of humankind
Talk given at the international symposium "Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and the Culture of Science in Europe around 1800" in Göttingen, April 23rd/24th 2015.
Prof. Dr. Thomas Junker demonstrates via images and text extracts from Johann Friedrich Blumenbach’s (1752-1840) original publications that Blumenbach did not intend to describe a judgmental hierarchy when he defined five human varieties. This was propagated by Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002) in his book 'The Mismeasure of Man' (1981), where he also used a manipulated image.
