Talk:Oscar Peschel

seven races?
"Peschel is most remembered for his book The Races of Man: and their geographical distribution (1876) which classifies man into seven races: Australoids, (Papuans), (Melanesians), Mongoloids, Dravidians, Bushmen (Capoids), Negroids and Mediterraneans (Caucasoids)." Hum. This is either ten races (the full list), or six races (those not in brackets - assuming that the bracketed names are either alternative designations or sub-groups).
