This type of racism called on scientists to take data (like facial features, distance between body parts, shape of head) in order to analyze it. At one point, it was argued that blacks had similar head shapes to that of chimpanzees  and monkeys to prove their inferiority.

However, it is widely known now as a science based on false data, exaggerations, and lies in general.
