From Dr Prichard's History of Man. James Cowles Prichard MD FRS (1786 -1848) was an English physician and ethnologist. His influential Researches into the physical history of mankind touched upon the subject of evolution. Prichard began the research for his study in 1813, intending to establish that the human race originally was all dark-skinned. He modified this view over the years, but still concluded that the human race was all one species, one family. By the final life-time edition of his work, issued in 1847, Prichard had gathered all available research about various races of humankind and his work became an important foundation for modern ethnological science |
