科學種族主義

科學種族主義（Scientific racism），又称生物种族主义（biological racism）是一种伪科学的信念，即认为存在经验证据支持或证明种族主义（种族歧视）、种族劣根性和种族优越性。^[1][2][3][4]在历史上，科学种族主义曾通过科学界获得过一定的可信度，但现在已不被科学界所认同。^[2][3]把人类划分为生物学上不同的群体有时被其支持者称为人种主义（racialism）、种族现实主义（race realism）或种族科学（race science）。现代科学界共识驳斥了该观点，认为该观点和现代基因学的研究结果不符。^[5]:360

Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within.

There have been abundant illustrations of pseudoscientific theories-monocausal theories of human behavior that were hailed as "scientific"-that have been applied with disastrous results.
