(19th-Century Race Science) Tableau Synoptique des Races Humaines, Montrant leur Origine, leur Distribution Géographique, leurs Caractères Distinctifs, les Peuples Dérivés, etc.

An ambitious and deeply racialized attempt to codify the entirety of human diversity, Saucerotte’s Tableau synoptique des races humaines offers a sweeping typological classification system that blends contemporary anthropological, linguistic, and anatomical theories. First issued around 1834, the chart divides humanity into five “primary races”—White (or Arab-Indo-European), Yellow (Asian), Black (Negro-African), and two “copper-colored” subgroups (Oceanian and American)—each further subdivided into “branches” (rameaux) and “families.” Each group is described in columns detailing physical characteristics, skull shapes, languages, religions, “moral” traits, and associated peoples.
