Cobelco. Belgium human zoo.

A Human Zoo contains humans rather than animals.

There were many human zoos in the first half of the 20th Century.

These zoos emphasized that the White Christian Americans and Europeans were superior to 'primitive' non-Whites who were closer to the great apes.

...

Some examples:

In the 16th century, Cardinal Hippolytus Medici had a collection of people of different races in his 'zoo'.

In the 1850s, Maximo and Bartola, two microcephalic children from El Salvador, were exhibited in the US and Europe

Maximo and Bartola, c. 1867

In the 1870s, human zoos could be found in Britain, the USA, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Poland.

In 1904, in the USA, Apaches, Igorots (from the Philippines), and a Congolese called Ota Benga were put on display in a 'zoo'.

Ota Benga, a human exhibit in the primate section at the Bronx Zoo, in 1906.

In France, between 1906 and 1931, dark skinned humans were displayed in cages, often nude.

A counter-exhibition in France, entitled The Truth about the Colonies, attracted few visitors.

In 1925, a display at Belle Vue Zoo in Manchester, England, was entitled "Cannibals" and featured black Africans depicted as savages.[15]

In 1906, Madison Grant, a eugenicist and head of the New York Zoological Society, put Ota Benga on display at the Bronx Zoo in New York City.

Benga was displayed in a cage with the chimpanzees.

When Benga was out of the cage, he was often followed by a crowd "howling, jeering and yelling."[14]

Ota Benga in 1904.

Ota Benga (1883 -1916) was bought from African slave traders by the explorer Samuel Phillips Verner, a businessman hunting for Africans to be put on display in the USA.

Ota Benga was from the Belgian Congo.

King Leopold II of Belgium ran the Belgian Congo as a slave colony.

Those who resisted the King's regime were usually killed.

Benga's wife and two children were killed.

Ota Benga committed suicide in 1916 at the age of 32.[3]

Above we see Ishi, a Native American, who was displayed in a human zoo.

Above, we see Philip Emeagwali, a Nigerian who has an IQ of 190.

The average IQ in Hong Kong is 108.

The average IQ in the United States is 98.

Dr. Philip Emeagwali: Inventor of the World's Fastest Computer.

Emeagwali studied for a Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan from 1987 through 1991.

His thesis was not accepted.

Emeagwali filed a court challenge, stating that the university had discriminated against him because of his race.

Dr Philip Emeagwali received the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize for an application of the CM-2 massively-parallel computer.

The application used computational fluid dynamics for oil-reservoir modelling.

His method involved each microprocessor communicating with six neighbours.[5]

Emeagwali's simulation was the first program to apply a pseudo-time approach to reservoir modeling.[1]

When it comes to global school rankings (Pisa test scores) Asian countries dominate the top of the rankings, with socialist Singapore heading the table.

The United States comes in at number 28.

The Scots have invented large numbers of things.

However, in Scotland, people from the White Scottish group are the least likely to have degrees (17%).

In Scotland, the group with the highest proportion of people educated to degree level is the African group (47%)

The next highest is the Bangladeshi group (45%) followed by the Indian group (42%).
