Because it associates animals with one of the most vital topics in human history, the historiography of the cross‐connections between race and animal‐breeding is at once controversial and inspiring. This article wishes to position this historiography in a more systematic framework than has been done thus far by examining both its merits and failings along with the more and less appropriate ways to write on the subject. The article identifies two main narratives in race–animal‐breeding historiography: the influence narrative and the projection narrative. The first reveals how perceptions of animal breeds and livestock‐breeding practices influenced the rise of racialist and eugenic worldviews. By contrast, the second shows how conceptualizations of human racial segregation contributed to the construction of ideas about the subdivision of domestic animal species into different breeds. The article argues that despite the projection narrative's inherent anthropomorphism, this perspective renders it possible to draft a nonanthropocentric history of the cross‐connections between race and animal‐breeding with a focus on human–animal relations rather than on human society.

种族和动物繁育：混合史学

因为它将动物与人类历史上最重要的主题联系在一起，所以种族与动物育种之间的相互联系的历史学史既引起争议又令人鼓舞。本文希望通过史无前例的优点和缺点以及与此主题相关的越来越少的写作方式，将史书定位到比迄今为止更系统的框架中。本文确定了种族繁殖史学中的两个主要叙事：影响叙事和投影叙事。。第一部分揭示了对动物品种和牲畜饲养方式的看法如何影响种族主义和优生世界观的兴起。相比之下，第二部分显示了人类种族隔离的概念化如何帮助构建关于将家畜物种细分为不同品种的观念。该文章认为，尽管投射叙事具有内在的拟人化特征，但这种观点使人们有可能起草关于种族与动物繁殖之间的交叉联系的非人类中心的历史，并着重于人与动物的关系而不是人类社会。
