1974 Oxford University Press hardcover first edition of Race by John R. Baker, in original dust jacket. A controversial and historically significant work on race, biology, anthropology, human classification, and intelligence, written by British biologist John R. Baker. This copy is especially interesting because it bears the ownership signature of Wayne C. Lutton, likely Wayne Lutton, Ph.D., historian and later editor associated with The Social Contract, making this a notable association copy given the subject matter.
