Abstract
Professor of American studies and history Matthew Frye Jacobson talks about the ascendancy of science in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and the use of science to classify people into racial types and racial hierarchies. This gave rise to the eugenics movement which, as Professor Jacobson explains, "...really captured many people's imagination."
