“…The German extermination campaign in South-West Africa killed at least 70,000 people and is generally seen as the first genocide of the 20th century and the first German genocide (Schaller 2011;Zimmerer 2001;. With a focus on 'law and administration of the racial state' and 'unfree labour, expulsion, and genocide as elements of population economics' (Zimmerer 2011: 40-138), the controversial question of the connection between the philosophies of colonial rule and administration on one hand and the Nazis' later genocidal quest for Lebensraum in Eastern Europe on the other is raised (Baranowski 2010).…”

“…Of course, outside of Europe, similar horrors had been taking place already. Think of for example the German concentration camps and genocide in current Namibia (Schaller, 2013), annihilation and genocide of different peoples by the British in Australia and Tasmania (Breen, 2013), and other colonial mass murder around the world (Schaller, 2013), forced sterilisations and medical experiments on racialized people (Essed, 2017(Essed, [1984).…”

46 See Green and Witte's (2013) explanation of the importance of the freedom of religion in the light of the Protestant Revolution, and how Calvinists democratic church polities were used as prototypes for democratic state polities with separation of powers, democratic election, term limits, town hall meetings and the right to petition. 47 See for a transcript of the original text of the 1688 Bill of Rights, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMarSess2/1/2/introduction 48 Linnaeus is most known for his division of human beings into different naturalized races, based on color in combination with assumed moral character. One of his divisions was: 'α: American: red, bilious, straight (…) is governed by customs. ß. European: white, sanguine, muscular (…) is governed by laws. γ. Asian: basan, melancholic, stiff (…) is governed by opinion. δ. African: black, phlegmatic, relaxed (…) is governed by chance. ε. Monstrous (…)' (Hoquet, 2014). Others who made similar taxonomies -even if different regarding for example monogenesis of polygenesis of different 'races ' -are Immanuel Kant, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Henry Home, Lord Kames (Bernasconi 2008;Hoquet 2014). Of course, like any hegemonic conceptualization, this was to was met internally and externally with counter-hegemony, as can be seen -for example -in the 1885 work by Haitian scholar Anténor Firmin's titled De l'égalité des races humaines. Remarkably in the context of this chapter is also that it is Linnaeus who is known for having coined 'homo sapiens' in Modern Latin, which is derived from the word homo which literally means man, and the word sapiens which is the present form of the verb sapere, meaning to be wise: https://www.etymonline.com/word/Homo%20sapiens
