This is an introduction to a series of essays, originally a panel at the iCHST conference in 2017, which explore the moral economy of physiology in the modern period, focusing particularly on issues of race, place and nation. By examining a series of interconnected, but not interchangeable, concepts, these papers offer a broader context for the understanding of physiology, physical anthropology, and fertility studies, particularly by moving from Europe to South America and from there with explorers and scientists across the globe. Starting with Malthusian discussions in the early nineteenth century, working through to post-colonial debates about race and belonging, the papers argue for an increased focus on cross-century histories of these topics, showing a continuity in beliefs and practices, and highlighting the interdisciplinary and inherently political nature of these researches.

这是一系列论文的简介，这些论文最初是2017年iCHST会议的一个小组，探讨了现代生理学的道德经济学，特别关注种族，地方和民族问题。通过研究一系列相互联系但不可互换的概念，这些论文为理解生理学，自然人类学和生育率研究提供了更广阔的背景，尤其是通过从欧洲搬到南美以及与那里的全球探险家和科学家一起从南美洲搬到南美洲。从19世纪初期的马尔萨斯讨论开始，一直到有关种族和归属的后殖民主义辩论，这些论文都主张对这些主题的跨世纪历史越来越关注，表明信仰和实践的连续性，
