I was going through my Great Grandmother's old school books, and found this
"Race Types" plate in Maury's New Complete Geography, copyright 1906. Almost
any viewpoint from the past will be interesting for the contrast to current
thought, and race issues especially so. In this case, it's interesting who they
chose to highlight as a race, ie, "Scotch Highlander." Also, this books groups
Anglo-Saxon, Arab, Hebrew, Russian, and others all as "Caucasian," and
classifies American Negro as "Ethiopian." Is 2008 better or worse than 1906?
