==Biography==
Andree was born in [[Braunschweig]].  He was educated at [[University of Jena|Jena]], [[University of Göttingen|Göttingen]], and [[University of Berlin|Berlin]] in [[history|historical science]].  After having been implicated in a students' political agitation he became a journalist, and in 1851 founded the newspaper ''[[Bremer Handelsblatt]]''. From 1855, however, he devoted himself entirely to geography and [[ethnography]], working successively at [[Leipzig]] and at [[Dresden]].  During the [[American Civil War]], he advocated the cause of the secessionists.  In 1862 he founded the important geographical periodical ''Globus''. He died at [[Wildungen]].

==Works==
His most famous works include ''North America in geographical and historical outline'' (''Nordamerika in geographischen und geschichtlichen Umrissen'') (Brunswick, 1854) or ''Buenos Aires and the Argentinian Republic'' (''Buenos Ayres und die argentinische Republik'') (Leipzig, 1856). In ''Geographic Migrations'' (''Geographische Wanderungen'') (Dresden, 1859), he put emphasis on ethnological moments and argued that [[ethnology]] should be considered a main foundational point of [[political science]]. He understood the term ''ethnology'' (German: ''Völkerkunde'') to be defined as concerning [[racial anthropology]] and not as comparative [[cultural anthropology]].
