The Polygeny Theory: Louis Agassiz

(Gould, 75) But Agassi does not support slavery at all. (Gould, 75 years old) Agassi has not brought this theory from Europe. (Gould, 75 years old) After his first meeting with an African American, he changed into this doctrine. (Gould, 75) It is a very wonderful experience to see a black man as he has never seen a black man in Europe. (Gould, 75) Agassi met a black man at a hotel in Philadelphia in 1846, his experience was quite negative. (Gould, 76) For example, Agassi was defeated by these blacks and he actually wanted to see them.

Among the people who support the theory and diversity of multiple species are Samuel Morton of Philadelphia and Louis Agassis of European scholars. Their work was very popular in the mid-19th century. The most famous scientist is Charles Darwin, he believes in unity. In other words, all human beings are kind. By the mid-nineteenth century scientific debate on race became the mainstream culture, the reasons for slavery and abuse became clear. People like plantation doctor Samuel Cartwright tried to explain the tendency of slaves to release violence by creating prescribed whipping as violent whipping and treatment. Despite the slavery boycott in the United States and Europe, scientists have continued to greatly advance the racial recessive theory.

Polygeny is also a theory corresponding to biological determinism, it is used for classification and ranking of humans and has been increasingly popular in the 19th century. Luis Agassis, former Swiss naturalist or theorist, was regarded as an important contributor to American thought when he came to Philadelphia in the 1840's. For his taxonomic classification, Agassis is "extreme division" (Gould, p. 74). Consistent with his classification Agasis is afraid of "community marriage" and is repelled by a black website. And it may be two more common things in the USA than in Switzerland. Agassi is also a great teacher until the rebellion of students at Harvard University (Gould, p.

Louis Agassiz strongly supported racial theory and developed various theories of human origin in eight regions of the world that correspond to so-called animal geographical areas. According to the concept at the time, this means that there is no relation between races. They are created independently of each other and have natural attributes that are very different physically and mentally. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the pillar of racism theory became the United States, and then the struggle between the slave owner and the abolitionist - the follower of the black liberation worsened. To strengthen their economic and political status, slave owners from southern provinces adopted reactive racism. They are anthropologist Morton and his followers N. Norton and D. It was developed in the most expressive form by Gurden.
