Summary "The Negro: What is His Ethnological Status? 2nd Ed." by Ariel is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book addresses complex and controversial questions regarding the ethnological status of the Black race in relation to biblical narratives, particularly focusing on the lineage of Noah’s sons and the implications of various interpretations of their characteristics. It seeks to challenge prevailing assumptions and beliefs about race and essentially positions itself as an inquiry into the origins of the Black race according to biblical texts and historical interpretations. The opening of the book sets the stage for an argument that refutes traditional views linking the Black race to the biblical figure Ham, asserting instead that such assumptions are based on flawed logic. The author outlines a series of questions regarding the creation and classification of races, emphasizing a need for a biblical and historical analysis rather than one rooted in social or political contexts. Throughout the first portion, Ariel argues against the notion that the Black race is descended from Ham, meticulously dismantling interpretations that support this idea, and positing instead that they must have been a distinct entity present in the time of Noah and associates. The text's tone is assertive, deliberate, and provocative, revealing the author's goal to provoke thought and potentially shift perspectives regarding race in a deeply segregated society.
