About Human Zoos

Human zoos have, in part, highlighted some of the most horrific racial divisions throughout history. Human Zoos sal During the 19th century, the United States and some wealthy European countries created human zoos that housed thousands of indigenous peoples in different parts of the world. They were designed not only to beautify human zoos but also for scientific and genetic research. Later, human zoos came to an end because of the inhumane treatment of rich countries.
