Czaszki pospólstwa, czaszki „wyższych” klas. O „wielkiej trójcy” dziewiętnastowiecznych francuskich teoretyków rasizmu klasowego i trzech polskich antropologach
The skulls of the commoners and the skulls of the “upper” classes: The “great trinity” of 19th-century French class racism theorists and three Polish anthropologists

Summary/Abstract: The paper, inspired by the works of Étienne Balibar and Enzo Traverso, attempts to characterize class racism in the treatises of three 19th-century French thinkers: Arthur de Gobineau, Gustave Le Bon and Georges Vacher de Lapouge, recognized as the main theoreticians of this extremely elitist phenomenon. The results obtained in this manner are then confronted with selected works of three Polish physicians-anthropologists from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries: Władysław Olechnowicz, Julian Talko-Hryncewicz and Leon Rutkowski, who also took into account social divisions in their research.
