Summary

"Appletons' Popular Science Monthly, March 1900" by Various is a collection of scientific articles from the turn of the century. It looks at science, nature, and rising technology to inform readers and offer knowledge of the modern scientific concepts circulating. The initial essay, "The Transplantation of a Race" focuses on the troubles people face when moving to new places, with past examples illustrating how populations, such as those of African descent, have adapted to very different climates. It carefully examines race, the impact of the surroundings, the economics of slavery, and focuses on the strength of those who adjusted to different living conditions, setting the stage for the publication's deeper investigations into science and culture.
