Such, in brief outline, is the method which history, from the point of view of race affinities, as these are indicated by language, would adopt. UNITY OF DESCENT. Whether mankind are all descended from one pair the Monogenist view, or spring from more than one center of origin the Polygenist view, is a question which philological science can not answer.
The Memoirs of the Anthropological Society, met this difficulty. Burton was the first president, and in two years the Society, which met at No. 4, St. Martin's Place, had 500 members. "These rooms," Burton afterwards commented, "now offer a refuge to destitute truth. There any man, monogenist, polygenist, eugenestic or dysgenestic, may state the truth as far as is in him."
The extremes of form and color are certainly separated, but without regard to the races which can not be included in any of these classes." MONOGENISM. Zooelogists, from the point of view of their own science, now more generally favor the monogenist doctrine, which traces mankind to a single pair, than the polygenist, which assumed different centers of origin.
Surely no one can now be found to assert that any two stocks of mankind differ as much as a chimpanzee and an orang do; still less that they are as unlike as either of these is to any New World Simian! Lastly, the granting of the Polygenist premises does not, in the slightest degree, necessitate the Polygenist conclusion.
