In his 1937 book Environment, Race, and Migration , Taylor outlines

2730-538: The interior of Australia would be best settled by broad-headed Mongoloids who were better adapted to the environment. He was severely criticised as unpatriotic for his views on Australia's future development. A textbook he had written containing these views was banned from schools by the Western Australian education authority. Taylor was a proponent of environmental determinism with the view that "physical environment determines culture." In 1927, he became

2940-438: The million years of Post-Pliocene" time, humans were forced to migrate during four major migrations related to the expansion of the "Great Ice Sheet." As humans moved to different areas of the world they adapted to the environment they encountered. Taylor openly disagrees with Wegener 's theory of Continental Drift , writing that the human races evidently migrated into world's regions separately and over time. They moved out over

3010-512: The most pure. He gives great accolades to the Chinese race. He links Europe's historical accession in the global sphere to command of the seas and easy access to plentiful surface coal.

Mixing of more advanced races was, ostensibly, acceptable, while miscegenation with more primitive races

3080-539: The most stimulating regions; i.e., where living is not so hard as to stunt mental development, and not so easy as to encourage sloth and loss of initiative.

3290-807: The racial types have been fairly well investigated. We know that the term "European" has no value as an ethnological distinction. Thus the Savoyard of eastern France is akin to the wild tribes of the Pamirs, but not to the primitive peoples of the Dordogne only two hundred miles to the west. The Corsican is much more nearly allied to the Cornishman than to the Italian peoples of the adjacent Alps. In Wales, we are told, there are small groups still essentially allied to Neanderthal man. The most suitable parts of

In 1954 he was elected to the Australian Academy of Science ,

4060-420: The world for habitation are, according to Taylor, in Europe, Western Siberia, the Americas, and Eastern China. These are the places that, if not already overcrowded, are where the world's masses must one day move into. Places least adaptable to European styles of agriculture and settlement are considered by Taylor "useless". In the final section of the book Taylor lays out the possibilities of future expansion of

4130-439: The world, the world didn't move them. (Note: this was written in a period before knowledge of plate tectonics ). Taylor links skin pigment to temperature and collects extensive data from the period on geology, topology, meteorology, and anthropology.

Taylor's physiographical and geomorphological Antarctic research earned him a doctorate (D.Sc.) from the University of Sydney in 1916.
