Then Vogt reminds his readers that:

“even religious legends, which have for their object the origin of mankind and the history of a privileged race, even these legends indicate that at the creation of the first pair the world was already peopled, an indication given even in the Bible … The only fact from which we can start is that of the original dispersion of mankind upon the earth, and the original difference of races spread over the surface of the earth. However much we may indulge in theoretical speculations on the origin and differences of mankind, however weighty proofs may be adduced for the original unity of the human species, this much is certain, that no historical nor, as we have shown, geological data can establish this dream of unity. However far back our eye reaches we find different species of men spread over different parts of the earth.”

“Not merely the difference of races, but also their constancy in the course of time, is perfectly established. We have endeavored to show that these characters may be traced back beyond the historical period up to the pile-works, the stone-period, and the diluvial formations. The Egyptian monuments show that already under the twelfth dynasty, about 2300 years before Christ, Negroes had been imported into Egypt; that slave hunts had, as now, taken place under several dynasties, as proved by the triumphal processions of Thothmes IV., about 1700 B. C., and Rameses III., about 1300 B. C. There are seen long processions of Negroes, whose features and color are faithfully rendered; there are seen Egyptian scribes registering slaves with their wives and children; even the down growing in bunches upon the heads of the latter may be distinguished. There are also seen many heads presenting characteristics of Negro tribes inhabiting southern Egypt, which the artist distinguishes as such by the superadded lotus-stalk. But not only the Negroes but also the Nubians and the Berbers, as well as the old Egyptians, are always depicted with those characteristic peculiarities which have been preserved to this day.”
