Alexander Winchell's Preadamites: A case for dismissal from Vanderbilt University (1994)

unapi

Description Winchell was dismissed after the publication of his Adamites and Preadamites in 1878. “However, this book about the races of mankind seems not to have been the sole reason for his dismissal, although it did serve as a catalyst to bring the entire matter to a head.”
