Join Quinn Slobodian to discuss the work of Earnest A. Hooton, America’s leading physical anthropologist who discredited Nazi ideas of racial hierarchy in the 1930s to defend even more robustly his own high-profile calls for eugenics. Slobodian will analyze how Hooton countered Hitler by declaring that we were all apes—but continued to insist that some apes were more equal than others.
