Science has changed the course of history breaking down the most complex things into the simplest form. Everything around us is understood by science. Everything that deals with science comes from an idea. It usually leads to experiments which are not always successful and do not always give us the answer that we are looking for. But humans have learned to deal with failures to actually help them get closer to what they are searching for. In the history of science not everything has been true. Frustrating experiments have led to lies and some of the most remarkable findings have seem like a lie but are true.
.
Scientist only want the answer of certain experiments to be what they believe it should be which hides the whole truth. In "The Measurement Of Man"(Morton) Morton describes in the study of "Crania Americana" how Indians had a smaller capacity of brain, to him this meant that they were not as intellectual as the Caucasian male. Morton says " The benevolent mind may regret the ineptitude of the Indian civilization. But sentimentality must yield to fact."(p88-89) .
The structure of his mind appears to be different from that of the white man, nor can the two harmonize in the social relations except on the most limited scale." Indians "are not only averse to the restraints of education, but for the most part are Incapable of a continued process of reasoning on abstract subjects". Now Morton was in fact a white Caucasian male which made things a little bit different. He did take down information from his experiments but according to Gould some of his experiments were wrong. He explains " Since Crania .Americana is primarily a treatise on the inferior quality of Indian intellect, I note first of all that Morton's cited average of 82 .cubic inches for Indian skulls is incorrect. He separated Indians Into two groups, "Toltecans" from Mexico and South America, and "Barbarous Tribes" from North America.
