Episode 54: Bad Genes & Bad Takes: Galton, RFK Jr. and Kyla's spiral.
Sir Francis Galton
Kyla's favorite historical figure (just kidding) Galton is the father of correlations, weather maps, and Kyla's favorite topic...eugenics.
Nature vs. Nurture
Galton believed that traits like intelligence were inherited and falsely believed that environmental factors did not impact this. He even tried to compile proof of criminal "looks".
RFK Jr.
Hide your bears, raccoons and whales. Where do we even start with this guy? His obsession with eugenics and dead animals give a cause for concern as he is the head of Health and Human Services for the United States. . .
