Title: Migrations (the Huxley Lecture for 1906)
Description: London: Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, 1906. Reprint. Paperback. This paper "offers an outline of the general considerations bearing on the mutations and movements of races; sketches the racial history of one country that we know best historically - Egypt; provides an outline of the changes in one great period where they are best recorded, the convulsions of Europe from Augustus to Charles the Great." - page 1. Sir Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), was a British Egyptologist and a pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology and the preservation of artefacts. He remains controversial for his pro-eugenics views; he was a dedicated believer in the superiority of the Northern peoples over the Latinate and Southern peoples. He has been referred to as the 'father of Egyptian archaeology'". - Wikipedia. Reprinted from the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, Vol. XXXVI. 44 pages [with plates XIX-XXIX].
