The Races of Britain: A Contribution to the Anthropology of Western Europe by John Beddoe, MD. — A complete overview of the racial and sub-racial makeup of the British Isles, using as the primary means of measure skull shape and hair/eye colour combinations. Through cross-testing with the European continent, the author found that the original inhabitants of Britain had been dark-haired and dark-eyed, and that the “greater part of the blond population of modern Britain derive their ancestry from the Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians.” Furthermore, he found, the “proportion of English and Scotch blood in the present inhabitants of Ireland is probably not much less than a third.” The author also found that dark-haired population was re-occupying Britain by a “reflux migration” and that their numbers would steadily increase over time. His conclusions have since been verified by DNA testing, which serves as a testament to the thoroughness of his research. This is a valuable work which serves as a testament to the original make-up of the British people, and will serve as beacon of the past pointing into the future as mass Third World immigration changes the racial make-up of Britain in the present-day. Classic European anthropology at its best. 275p-sc
