Happy 250th! (thread 13), Episode 11: When Science Wore a Tie: The Madison Grant Story
This episode digs into Madison Grant: the wealthy, well-dressed conservationist who also wrote dangerous, pseudo-scientific ideas about race. It's wild and unsettling to see how polite language and data-like footnotes helped spread harmful beliefs.
Stick with it — you’ll get a clear, personal look at how authority can hide prejudice, how real science eventually pushed back, and why this history still matters today.
