Kant taught a combination of physical geography and anthropology courses for forty years (1756–1797), introducing a “scientific” concept of race and a particular brand of physical racial anthropology first in Germany, then in Europe and the United States (Kant [1775] 1950, [1798] 1974, 1802; May 1970; Eze 1995; Mills 1997; Elden 2011; Jablonski 2012).
