Notes

1. This is reminiscent of early “scientific” beliefs about the perils of race crossing, such as those of Charles Davenport, the first American geneticist to focus on human genetics, who published a paper in which he warned of the dangers of cross-breeding between two different races because combining the different characteristics would lead to disharmonious results in the offspring (Provine 1986). For example, crossing a tall race with a short one would yield children with either large frames and small internal organs or vice versa.
