The Skull and Bones Society's Involvement in Racist Anthropology



What: A secret society at Yale University that supported and promoted racial pseudoscience.


When: Founded in 1832


Details: The Skull and Bones Society at Yale University included many prominent

members who supported the development of racist anthropological theories. These members, influenced by the prevailing scientific racism of the time, conducted and funded studies that sought to prove the superiority of the white race. Their work contributed to the spread of eugenics and other pseudoscientific racial theories.


Why and How It Was Racist: The Skull and Bones Society's promotion of racial pseudoscience provided a veneer of intellectual legitimacy to racist ideologies. This perpetuated discrimination and reinforced social hierarchies based on race.
