QR code
"Über das Aussterben der Naturvölker" by Georg Karl Cornelius Gerland is a scientific publication written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the reasons behind the extinction of indigenous peoples, exploring various factors contributing to their declining populations, including cultural, environmental, and health-related issues. The opening of the work presents the author's preface, outlining the importance of thoroughly examining the extinction of indigenous peoples, a topic previously addressed only superficially
in anthropological studies. Gerland emphasizes the need for a detailed exploration of psychological factors and the effects of contact with colonizing cultures. He critically engages with existing works, particularly citing Waitz's research, while acknowledging the scattered material available from travel accounts and anthropological texts. The introduction sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of the multi-faceted causes of the decline of these societies, focusing on their vulnerability to diseases introduced by Europeans, inadequate health practices, and a lack of concern for physical well-being.
