Podcasts about kallikak

In this episode Steve compares and contrasts the various species of falcon that he has flown on sage grouse, and why he believes that the tiercel gyr/peregrine hybrid is the ultimate sage grouse hawk.  He also explains how he trains and conditions his birds to hunt sage grouse, how he uses his dogs when hunting, and he also tells us about two  his favorite falcons, BBG (a wild-taken gyrfalcon harvested in Alaska), and Kallikak, his spectacular prairie/peregrine hybrid.

Henry Herbert Goddard's work studying the supposedly degenerate “Kallikak” family made him world famous. In the words of a teacher at the Vineland Training Center, it also made Emma Wolverton, aka Deborah Kallikak, the “World's Best Known Moron.” But the acclaim Goddard achieved for his work faded as psychologists discovered fatal flaws with his research. However, before Goddard's work was dismissed as worthless by the scientific community is was cited as justification for eugenic programs both at home and in Nazi Germany.

In the early 20th century a psychologist named Henry Herbert Goddard aimed to prove that “feeblemindedness” was a hereditary trait. His work, fueled by the frenzy of eugenics research at the time, focused on the family line of an institutionalized girl named Emma Wolverton, but which he named “Deborah Kallikak” in his publications. Goddard's 1912 study on the supposedly degenerate Kallikak family won him fame and acclaim. It was printed in textbooks and cited in a Supreme Court case that permitted the involuntary sterilization of people in institutions. But decades later the truth was eventually acknowledged by every honest academic: Goddard's research, which was validated by heights of authority and power, was completely worthless from top to bottom.

H.H. Goddard's groundbreaking studies of the feeble-minded helped justify eugenics policies across the world... which is a tragedy because they were junk science and lies. Here's the whole sordid story. Key sources for this episode include David Smith's Minds Made Feeble: The Myth and Legacy of the Kallikaks; Stephen Jay Gould's The Mismeasure of Man; Thomas C. Leonard's Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics & American Economics in the PRogressive Era; Stephen Murdoch's IQ: A Smart History of a Failed Idea; and, of course, the works of Henry Herbert Goddard.

The story of the ‘Kallikak’ family supposedly went back to an ancestor code-named ‘Martin Kallikak’, who as a young man had a relationship with a “feebleminded barmaid” that resulted in the birth of Martin Jr. Later, Martin married a “worthy Puritan woman”, and their union produced many productive people. But alas, the damage had been done, because Martin Jr, a drunkard and worthless individual, had many children, and those children were all morally and intellectually bankrupt.

El término Eugenesia, la idea de que impulsando y seleccionando matrimonios entre quienes exhibían habilidades cognitivas superiores y evitando aquellos que mezclaban a los muy inteligentes con los “inferiores”, fue en su origen acuñado por Francis Galton en 1883. Galton era primo de Darwin y su, según él, brillante idea tenía en su propia familia la mejor prueba de que la inteligencia es innata, inmodificable, y se transmite entre sus miembros. Su abuelo era brillante y qué decir de su primo “Qué gran galaxia de genios podríamos crear”, declaró con entusiasmo. Se fundó en Inglaterra la Sociedad para la Educación Eugenésica y, después, las ideas se difundieron a otros lugares. Varios genetistas y psicólogos se adhirieron de inmediato a la causa. Ya hemos contado uno de los casos más notables, el de la familia Kallikak*, trabajo incansable en la institución Vineland, dirigido por H. H. Goddard. Hoy continuamos la historia.

This week, how one of the worst ideas in science got a big push from a bad study… and intellectuals of the day lapped it up. We speak to science writer Carl Zimmer and Prof. J. David Smith, whose research helped get to the bottom of this disturbing story. UPDATE 05/25/18: This episode has been updated. A previous version said that the 'good' side of the Kallikak family included someone who had signed the Declaration of Independence. It now says that the 'good' Kallikak family member married into the family with the relative who signed the Declaration of Independence.

HistoryThe earliest known observation of possible links between maternal alcohol use and fetal damage may have been made in 1899 by Dr. William Sullivan, a Liverpool prison physician who noted higher rates of stillbirth for 120 alcoholic female prisoners than their sober female relatives and suggested the causal agent to be alcohol use (Sullivan, 1899). This view contradicted the predominant theories of the day, which were that genetics caused mental retardation, poverty, and criminal behavior. A case study popular in the early 1900s by Henry H. Goddard involved the Kallikak family and shows the bias of the time period (Goddard, 1912), though later researchers conclude that the Kallikaks almost certainly had FAS (Karp, R.J., et al, 1995). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or FAS, was named in 1973 by two dysmorphologists, Drs. Kenneth Lyons Jones and David W. Smith of the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle. They identified a pattern of "craniofacial, limb, and cardiovascular defects associated with prenatal onset growth deficiency and developmental delay" in eight unrelated children of three ethnic groups, all born to mothers who were alcoholics (Jones, K.L., et al, 1973). While many syndromes are eponymous, or named after the physician first reporting the association of symptoms, Dr. Smith named FAS after alcohol, the causal agent of the symptoms. His reasoning for doing so was to promote prevention of FAS, believing that if people knew maternal alcohol consumption caused the syndrome, then abstinence during pregnancy would follow from patient education and public awareness. Nobody was aware of the full range of possible birth defects from FASD or its prevalence rate at that time, but admitting alcohol use during pregnancy can feel stigmatizing to birth mothers and complicate diagnostic efforts of a syndrome with its preventable cause in the name. Over time, the term FASD is coming to predominate. Diagnostic SystemsSince the original syndrome of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was reported in 1973, four FASD diagnostic systems that diagnose FAS and other FASD conditions have been developed in North America: The Institute of Medicine's guidelines for FAS, the first system to standardize diagnoses of individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (Institute of Medicine (IOM), Stratton, K.R., Howe, C.J., & Battaglia, F.C. (1996). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment. Washington, DC: National Academy Press.),The University of Washington's "The 4-Digit Diagnostic Code," which ranks the four key features of FASD on a Likert scale of one to four and yields 256 descriptive codes that can be categorized into 22 distinct clinical categories, ranging from FAS to no findings,The Centers for Disease Control's "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Guidelines for Referral and Diagnosis," which established general consensus on the diagnosis FAS in the U.S. but deferred addressing other FASD conditions, andCanadian guidelines for FASD diagnosis, which established criteria for diagnosing FASD in Canada and harmonized most differences between the IOM and University of Washington's systems. Each diagnostic system requires that a complete FASD evaluation include assessment of the four key features of FASD--prenatal alcohol exposure, FAS facial features, growth deficiency, and central nervous system damage. A positive finding on all four features is required for a diagnosis of FAS, the first diagnosable condition of FASD that was discovered. However, prenatal alcohol exposure and central nervous system damage are the critical elements of the spectrum of FASD, and a positive finding in these two features is sufficient for an FASD diagnosis that is not "full-blown FAS." Diagnoses and diagnostic criteria will be described in detail in the next podcast. Feedback or comments may be sent to: Michael__at__FASDElephant__dot__com.
