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 \\u201cDeborah Kallikak\\u201d in his publications. Goddard\\u2019s 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\\u2019s research, which was validated by heights of authority and power, was completely worthless from top to bottom.\\n\\nWritten by Travis View.
