The plurality of the human race
Pouchet, G. (Georges)
Monogenism and polygenism
[13] “The doctrine attributed to Copernicus,” said the declaration made
by the Pope, and published by the Holy Office, “that the earth moves
round the sun, and that the sun remains motionless in the centre of the
world without moving either to the east or to the west, is contrary
to Holy Scripture, and consequently, can neither be professed nor
defended.”--Biot, _La vérité sur le Procès de Galilée_, in the _Journal
des Savants_, July 1858, p. 401.
[14] _Essai Politique sur la Nouvelle Espagne_, vol. ii, p. 79.
[15] _Essai sur les Mœurs_: Introd., § 2.
[16] There is an idea of adding to the Linnean Society a new section
of Anthropology.--See “Letter from E. W. Brayley,” _Medical Times and
Gazette_, p. 491, May 10, 1862.
[17] Alphonse Karr was the first who proposed to substitute
the name of “searcher” (_chercheur_) for that of “learned man”
(_savant_).--_Nouvelles Guêpes_, February 1859.
[18] See, for example, Pucheran, _Considérations Anatomiques sur les
Formes de la tête osseuse_.--Paris, 1841 (Thesis).
[19] M. de Serres, in his Lectures on Anthropology, at the _Jardin des
Plantes_.
[20] P. J. Proudhon has said, in another arrangement of facts depending
on social science, “Revolution is not atheistical; it does not deny the
absolute, it removes it altogether” (_De la Justice_, vol. ii, p. 301).
See, for fuller development of our ideas on this subject, the _Progrès_
of the 20th of May, 1859, article on _Science et Religion_.
[21] _Discours sur le Méthode._
[22] _Lettres à M. Villemain sur la Méthode_, Paris, 1856, p. 3.
[23] See these ideas categorically explained, vol. ii, p. 281.
[24] M. de Quatrefages admits a _sidereal kingdom_; and such a thesis
seems to us a very difficult one to sustain, after the experiments of
Bunsen and Kirchoff on the chemical composition of the stars. M. de
Quatrefages admits also a _human kingdom_; but admitting that animals
_think_, he makes _morality_ and _religion_ characteristics of this
kingdom. _Unité de l’Espèce Humaine_, 1861, p. 30. We shall have
occasion to revert again to these two points. See Bert., _Bulletins de
la Société d’Anthropologie_, August 7, 1862.
[25] See Is. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, _Histoire Naturelle Générale des
règnes organiques_, vol. ii, p. 252.
[26] Certain essential oils, like those of coffee, tea, or hemp.
[27] Alcoholic liquors.
[28] Narcotics.
