G. Latham is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to explore the different physical and linguistic characteristics of human varieties, drawing upon historical, philological, and anatomical methods. Latham's research focuses on the classification of the human race into primary divisions and subgroups based on these distinct characteristics. The opening of the book sets a foundational understanding of the ethnological discourse by emphasizing the need for precise terminology concerning human physical differences and structures. Latham introduces key concepts such as "typical," "sub-typical," and "transitional" forms, illustrated by comparisons among Mongolian, African, and European peoples. He establishes a framework for the classification of humans that considers anatomical features like skull shape and facial characteristics while laying the groundwork for subsequent discussions about different global populations and their linguistic traits.
