What is We Europeans. A Survey of "Racial" Problems about?

This book, the result of a happy collaboration, comes as an opportune prophylactic against the spreading virus of racialism. Its nine chapters contain a historical survey of the development of anthropology and racial ideas, a simple but sufficient account of human genetics, an examination of the bases and follies of ethnic classification, a review of European ethnic groups considered broadly and nationally, a careful demographic summary of European emigration and a recapitulation of the practical applications of the inquiry. By the 1930s, hereditarianism—the theory that heredity was the basis for differences in intelligence and behavior—began to fall out of favor. To counter the rise of Nazism and its racist ideologies, scientists critical of the use of race to justify oppression and discrimination published a number of important works. "We Europeans: A Survey of 'Racial' Problems" by Huxley and Haddon, sought to show that science offered a very limited definition of race.
