Talk:William Howard Campbell

On Race

In 1891 under the pen name "Caucasian", wrote in Anthropology for the People: A Refutation of the Theory of the Adamic Origin of All Races that the non-white peoples were not the descendants of Adam and were therefore "not brothers in any proper sense of the term, but inferior creations" and he also wrote that polygenism was the "only theory reconcilable with scripture." Like Payne before him, Campbell viewed the Great Flood as a consequence of intermarriage between the white (Adamic) and the nonwhite (pre-Adamic) peoples "the only union we can think of that is reasonable and sufficient to account for the corruption of the world and the consequent judgement."^[1]

I have removed the above addition as there is no mention of India in the book. The author is said to be familiar with the southern USA. Everything indicates that this is an entirely different "William H. Campbell" from the one being dealt with in this article. Shyamal (talk) 01:48, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
