Although eugenics had an upper hand in U.S. science into the 1920s and early 1930s, and Nazism had the upper hand into the 1940s, eventually the anthropological concept of culture and the insight it provided into human behavior would provide the evidence needed to show that the biological determinism and simplified genetics of eugenicists and Nazis was devoid of any scientific credibility. Unfortunately, some of this biological determinism and oversimplified genetics has crept back into biology and anthropology.
