===Theories of racialism=== In 1860, the physician [[John Crawfurd]] and the anthropologist [[James Hunt (speech therapist)|James Hunt]] identified the racial stereotype of ''the noble savage'' as an example of [[scientific racism]],<ref>Ellingson (2001), pp. 249β323.</ref> yet, as advocates of [[polygenism]] β that each [[Race (human categorization)|race]] is a distinct species of Man β Crawfurd and Hunt dismissed the arguments of their opponents by accusing them of being proponents of "Rousseau's Noble Savage". Later in his career, Crawfurd re-introduced the ''noble savage'' term to modern [[anthropology]] and deliberately ascribed coinage of the term to Jean-Jacques Rousseau.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://epress.anu.edu.au/foreign_bodies/mobile_devices/ch03s02.html |title=John Crawfurd β 'two separate races' | publisher=Epress.anu.edu.au |date= October 2008|doi=10.22459/FB.11.2008 |access-date=2009-02-23|isbn=9781921536007 |editor1-last=Douglas |editor1-first=Bronwen |editor2-first=Chris |editor2-last=Ballard |doi-access=free }}</ref>
