Karl Andree (20 October 1808 – 10 August 1875) was a Germangeographer,publicist and consul.
Andree was born inBraunschweig. He was educated atJena,Göttingen, andBerlin inhistorical science. After having been implicated in a students' political agitation he became a journalist, and in 1851 founded the newspaperBremer Handelsblatt. From 1855, however, he devoted himself entirely to geography andethnography, working successively atLeipzig and atDresden. During theAmerican Civil War, he advocated the cause of the secessionists. In 1862 he founded the important geographical periodicalGlobus. He died atWildungen. His sonRichard Andree followed in his father's career.[1]
His most famous works includeNorth America in geographical and historical outline (Nordamerika in geographischen und geschichtlichen Umrissen) (Brunswick, 1854) orBuenos Aires and the Argentinian Republic (Buenos Ayres und die argentinische Republik) (Leipzig, 1856). InGeographic Migrations (Geographische Wanderungen) (Dresden, 1859), he put emphasis on ethnological moments and argued thatethnology should be considered a main foundational point ofpolitical science. He understood the termethnology (German:Völkerkunde) to be defined as concerningracial anthropology and not as comparativecultural anthropology.
