Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för idé- och lärdomshistoriaSammanfattning : With the intention of analysing changes in natural history, human variation and the exercise of imperial power across the British Caribbean, this study poses the following questions: How did changes in natural history impact the understandings and applications of human variety, 1700–1750?
