You can't spell "anthropologist" without (a)pologist! This week, our romp through the risible race science of yesteryear takes us into the realm of American anthropology! The Civil War may interrupt the sinister plans of slaveowners, but in the preceding years, the intellectuals who characterize the last gasp of old-world slavery make one final attempt to justify their own greatness. You can always tell when a social system is about to transform because there's a flurry of scholarship about how the old ways must never die! It's chapter 13 of The History of White People!
