First published in 1871. Louis Figuier was a French scientist and writer. He was the nephew of Pierre-Oscar Figuier and became Professor of chemistry at L'Ecole de pharmacie of Montpellier.

Figuier played a key role in perpetuating the blatantly myopic misconception that people of black origin were mentally inferior were not fully human smelled poorly and were promiscuous. His citing of these ill-formed concepts of course were and are not true yet he remains celebrated in his achievements.
