But two young researchers at an Iowa orphanage decided to test that idea… and what they discovered would tear down one of the darkest chapters in American science.This is the true story of the Orphans of Davenport.Sources:Iowa Childrens Home: https://web.archive.org/web/20101230011824/http://www.qcmemory.org/Default.aspx?PageId=243&nt=207&nt2=239 Book: The Orphans of Davenport: Eugenics, the Great Depression, and the War over Children's Intelligence by Marilyn Brookwood- Buy Book: https://amzn.to/4oS9D2r https://www.byuradio.org/won-2021-10-14-the-davenport-orphanshttps://medium.com/leading-brains-review/two-hopeless-little-girls-abandoned-to-a-mental-institution-with-astounding-results-c9ac9a06ec28 https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/the-iowa-orphans-who-helped-resolve-the-fight-over-childrens-intelligence/2021/08/11/51bde2d6-de75-11eb-b507-697762d090dd_story.html Interview with Researchers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0bQFsodlf4 https://time.com/archive/6780590/education-nature-v-nurture/ https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2006-11958-020 Papers written by the doctors: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Harold-M-Skeels-2047761714 1939: https://time.com/archive/6760602/medicine-feeble-minded-love/ https://origins.osu.edu/read/sterilization-carrie-buck https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/eugenics-finding-carrie-buck/ https://libguides.davenportlibrary.com/c.php?g=757345&p=5430552 Support the show | — | ||||||
