• The Race Makers with Andrew Curran

  18th century naturalists and philosophers were thus the first in history to process anecdotebased xenophobia flowing back from the rest of the world into far more deterministic sociological data. And I'm using sociological again in quotes here. They were also the first to identify races as belonging to specific stages in human history. hum uh hunter gatherers, herdsmen, farmers, traders, all the way to humankind's supposedly highest aspiration, commercial society, which people are calling late capitalism. Now, the 18th century and 18th century thinkers were also the first to create human taxonomies. Taxonomies whose categories still resonate today.
