Topic 1: Race ? Extract Answer the questions below after you have read this extract from a letter written by a South African settler in 1823: I now avail myself of an opportunity by a medical friend to transmit you a Bushman or Bosjeman's scull for the use of the Phrenological Society. Of the history of the subject I can say little except that he was shot by some Boors of my acquaintance on the Caffer Frontier in the act of stealing cattle - and being left till the vultures and hyenas had picked his bones I had the scull forwarded to me. I sent a Caffer's scull to London by Dr McMunn in November last with the view of being forwarded to you. Mr Stevenson who takes charge of the Bushman's scull has also been so good as [to] promise to present you with an Indian scull which he has brought from Calcutta and of which he can furnish the history. 0 Cited in: A Bank, 'Of "Native Skulls" and Noble Caucasians: Phrenology in Colonial South Africa', Journal of Southern African Studies, 22(3), 1996, pp 390-391. 1.
