G. Latham is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work focuses on the diverse populations and historical developments of the British Isles, exploring the complex interrelations between the British, Gaelic, and other tribes that occupied the islands throughout history. It engages with subjects such as early migrations, cultural influences, and the evolving identities of various groups, ultimately aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the genetic and cultural makeup of the British population. At the start of the book, Latham sets the stage for his exploration by discussing the nature of ethnology and emphasizing the need for minutiae in studying the British Isles compared to broader global human varieties. He introduces key themes related to the historical presence of different groups, including the Kelts and Germans, and sets out to analyze the evidence regarding their origins and interactions. Latham reflects on the archaeological and linguistic aspects of these populations, laying the groundwork for the detailed investigations that will follow in subsequent chapters, particularly regarding burial practices, the introduction of metallurgy, and the shifting social conditions of early inhabitants of the islands.
