Wallace and Galton

Alfred Russel Wallace: Are Humans One Race or Many?

• Humans are ultimately related
• Differences between races are due to environmental adaptation
• Even though other races may be "worse," they are still human, higher than animals

Francis Galton: The Comparative Worth of Different Races

• The "black race" is substantially less intelligent than the "white race"
• However, there is no shortage of men belonging to the former race that can be "raised above the average white"
• They are, though, on the whole, "childish, stupid, and simpleton-like"
