“D. The Racial Characteristics of The Semites

This race is characterized by a dark complexion, thick, black, curly hair, a hooked nose, rather thickened at the base, and thick lips. The mental characteristics are intense subjectively, lack of sustained logical thought, strong emotions, and a resoluteness of will that enables the Semites to endure bravely hardship and pain. In science, art, and philosophy they have done nothing important, but in religion they have been the leaders of mankind. Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedansim, the three great religions of the world, have all arisen on Semitic ground.”
