  • Résumé

  • The article argues that the foundation of modern anthropology, particularly as developed in the United States, was heavily influenced by racist ideologies and served to justify colonialism and genocide. It traces the roots of these ideas back to the 19th century, focusing on the work of individuals like Albert Gallatin, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, and Lewis Henry Morgan, who are accused of fabricating a "science" of human evolution to support the notion of racial hierarchy. The article further alleges that the Smithsonian Institution, through its Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE), played a significant role in promoting this flawed understanding of human development, which ultimately led to the suppression of evidence challenging their theories.
