Precursors and analogues -- Humboldt's critical ethnology -- Malthus' theological demography -- King and Fitzroy in Tierra del Fuego -- A voyage to humanity -- Slavery in South America -- Fitzroy and Darwin in Tierra del Fuego -- The "barbarians" of Argentina -- "The mysterious agency": Darwin in the south seas -- The making of Humboldt's ethnology -- The post-voyage ethnology -- Allied kingdoms, 1836 to 1870 -- Natural selection: the bio-ethical dilemma -- Transportation and census -- Descent as synthesis "This book attempts to reconcile the prevailing dual visions of Darwin as racist and as humanitarian.
