Bag om Probable Origin Of The American Indians

Probable Origin Of The American Indians: With Particular Reference To That Of The Caribs is a book written by James Kennedy and published in 1854. The book explores the origins of the American Indians, with a particular focus on the Caribs. The author argues that the Caribs were a distinct race that migrated to the Caribbean from South America, rather than being descended from the indigenous people of the region. The book draws on a range of historical and anthropological sources, including the accounts of early explorers and missionaries, as well as linguistic and physical evidence. The author also considers the cultural and social practices of the Caribs, such as their cannibalism and their use of tobacco, as evidence of their distinct origins. Overall, Probable Origin Of The American Indians is a fascinating exploration of the origins of one of the most important indigenous groups in the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
