Philip DeArmond Curtin was an influential historian whose work spanned a wide range of subjects. Through his pioneering use of modern statistical methods to assess the scale of the Atlantic slave trade, he proposed that fewer slaves were transported from Africa than previously estimated. His research reshaped understandings of this historical period and spurred further scholarly inquiry.
