Racism

The influence of scientists like Vogt in the promotion of racism ought to be addressed in an expanded article, since it seems too often swept under the rug of history.

A quote from Vogt's Lectures on Man: "...the differences between particular human races is greater than between particular ape species, so that we must therefore recognize individual human races as species."

To Vogt, and all too many Darwinian scientists of his time, blacks were considered to be more apes than humans. This seems to have had a huge influence on the institutionalization of segregation in the USA.

"Vogt believed that the Negro was related to the ape"

what does that even mean? and he thought white people weren't related to the ape? clearly not, because one line earlier it says "and instead believed that each race had evolved from a different type of ape". did the author mean he thought they were more closely related? rrrrrrrrrɞ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.146.34.11 (talk) 21:07, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
