Semites Are a Dark Complexioned, Curly Hair, Thick Lipped Race

One For All0 CommentsHistorical References1900s, 1915, Dark Complexion, University of Chicago

This book tells us about the black features of Shemites. Interestingly, this book put the Ethiopians into the Semitic family (we know Ethiopians are Hamites because the Bible tells us this) which once again shows the Israelites have a physical and linguistical affinity with Ethiopian peoples.
