On the emergence of modern anthropology in Greece -- section II. Concepts of anthropology, institutional trajectories and scientific capital -- section III. Concepts of the Greek Fili : communality in racial and eugenic terms.Before it became established as an academic discipline, physical anthropology emerged as a contested notion of reference to the cosmological views associated with the Darwinian theory of evolution and its implementation by the natural sciences. However, its subsequent development points to a science which made holistic claims regarding its ability to explore humankind in its entirety and to influence society, with its involvement in politics, as well as racial and eugenic concepts serving as the vehicle for doing so. This book explores the emergence of physical anthropology in the modern Greek state and its development over a period of one century from the viewpoint of the proclaimed intention of its representatives to influence societal developments. The book is the first to subject Greek racial and eugenic discourse to detailed research.Balkan studies library ;v. 11.Physical anthropologyGreeceHistoryEugenicsGreeceHistoryRacism in anthropologyGreeceHistoryGreeceRace relationsGreeceSocial life and customsElectronic books.Physical anthropologyHistory.EugenicsHistory.Racism in anthropologyHistory.599.909495Troumpeta Sevastē948548MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452389503321Physical anthropology, race and eugenics in Greece (1880s-1970s)2281791UNINA
