Foreign AffairsSummary: In 1888, the British author Henry Strickland Constable pointed to discoveries of prehistoric human remains to explain the racial inferiority of the Irish. Thousands of years ago, he confidently postulated, the Iberians, “originally an African race,” had reached Ireland and mixed with the descendants of “savages of the Stone Age.” Isolation on the island had protected these natives from being “out-competed in the healthy struggle of life” to make way, “according to the laws of nature, for superior races.” – Reproduced
