Adam's Ancestors: Race, Religion, and the Politics of Human Origins - Medicine, Science, and Religion in Historical Context
Livingstone, David N. (Professor of Geography and Intellectual History, The Queen’s University Belfast)
Traces the history of the idea of non-Adamic humanity, and the debates surrounding it, from the Middle Ages onwards. From heresy to orthodoxy, from radicalism to conservatism, from humanitarianism to racism, this book tells an intriguing tale of twists and turns in the cultural politics surrounding the age-old question, 'Where did we come from?'
