In 1853 De Gobineau published a work in which he made 3 main divisions between races, based on colour. Early antropological studies in the nineteenth century were influenced by the way the biological science (Humboldt) had classified the species. Classifying humanity into races or peoples was an accepted way of gathering 'scientific information'. De Gobineaus ideas found a new interest at the end of the nineteenth century in German speaking areas. INFLUENCE Josiah Clark Nott translated Arthur de Gobineau's ''"Essai sur l'inégalité des races humaines"'' into English. Nott later became a leader of the Polygenist movement, suggesting against all evidence that Whites and Blacks were two distinct species. Gobineau's work has been continuously republished, most recently by contemporary White nationalist groups such as Noontide Press. BIBLIOGRAPHY
