Quotes

  • But the land of Egypt still abounds with its ancient monuments; the race was quite peculiar, and was, I think, African, or at least allied to the African races. The mouth and lips all but prove this. Nevertheless, their identity with a great section of the present Jewish race cannot be doubted; the young Jew of London or Amsterdam might readily sit for a likeness of the bust of Amenoph.
  • Harriet Ritvo, The Platypus and the Mermaid, and other Figments of the Classifying Imagination (Harvard University Press, 1997)
