En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the duality of the Renaissance, Mackenzie Cooley reveals how advancements in understanding human potential coexisted with a troubling obsession with control over nature and breeding. The book traces the historical context from the Mediterranean to the Americas, highlighting how the concept of race originated in animal breeding and evolved to encompass humans. Cooley examines the work of early breeders and natural philosophers, illustrating how ideas about inheritance and modification shaped perceptions of race during the expansion of the Spanish empire.
