In her book Marina Mogilner examines the unique material about development of a “non-classic” science about the human being (types, races, body building and collective peculiarities) in the second half of the XIXth – first third of the XXth century. The Russian Anthropological Association’s activities, history of establishment of the respective chairs at universities, ideological adoptions from the “colonial” anthropology and geography, hot debates about the race and “Russian” nature of Pushkin, and many other questions are analyzed by the author.
