The notion of a superior 'Germanic' or 'Nordic' race was a central theme in Nazi ideology. But it was also a commonly accepted idea in the early twentieth century, an actual scientific concept originating from anthropological research on the physical characteristics of Europeans. The Scandinavian Peninsula was considered to be the historical cradle and the heartland of this 'master race'. Measuring the Master Race investigates the role played by Scandinavian scholars in inventing this so-called superior race, and discusses how the concept stamped Norwegian physical anthropology, prehistory, national identity and the eugenics movement. It also explores the decline and scientific discrediting of these ideas in the 1930s as they came to be associated with the genetic cleansing of Nazi Germany. This is the first comprehensive study of Norwegian physical anthropology. Its findings shed new light on current political and scientific debates about race across the globe.

The online Human Biology Review is an International Peer Reviewed Journal published quarterly during January, April, July and October every year. It is devoted to the broader theme of biological variations among human populations ultimately reflecting on their health. It focuses on research in all fields of biological anthropology including human genetics, human growth, body composition, biotechnological advances, human physique, demography, human origins and evolution, population variations, genomics, kinanthropometry, human ecology, human nutrition, health perspectives and all other related areas. The bodily adaptations made by different human populations to procreate and survive in different ecological situations are important in determining the future course of the human race. The journal publishes original research papers, short reports, review papers, and case reports on specific research issues as well as book reviews, news and other scientific information. The authors are also welcome to share their exciting experiences of research and new innovations.

Etrange légende. L'homme ne serait qu'un accident génétique, une erreur de la vie. Quelle est donc cette malédiction du XXe siècle, cette croyance, version néodarwinienne de nos origines ? En 1987, une importante découverte en paléontologie humaine montre comment les crânes se sont transformés depuis soixante millions d'années, des plus anciens fossiles jusqu'à l'homme. Tout se passe, au cours du développement embryonnaire, d'une façon logique et ordonnée, et non pas hasardeuse. La science dévoile une loi. C'est une véritable révolution : l'homme découvre qu'il est un processus en cours. Anne Dambricourt présente cette découverte qui touche directement nos origines. Parce qu'elle est scientifique, elle soumet les éléments du débat. Parce qu'elle s'interroge sur les origines de la pensée, elle confronte ses résultats aux réflexions de Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Parce que sa recherche personnelle l'a conduite de l'athéisme à la compréhension du sens de la foi, elle met en lumière les dangers spirituels de la récupération du néodarwinisme par l'athéisme. Parce qu'elle est femme, enfin, elle nous parle de l'homme, non pas comme d'une simple mécanique biologique, mais comme d'une personne humaine, l'autre, l'enfant porté et attendu, auquel la mère accepte de dire oui, un oui dont la source mystérieuse et essentielle reste l'amour.
