Are there any credible explanations as to why this taboo developed?

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I'm sure there are, it's a pretty recent phenomena so people were almost certainly writing about it, and it happened at more or less the same time we were figuring out genetic hertitability. I've never really bothered to look in to it but I'm pretty sure i've read a few times that it was tied up in the emergence of Eugenics and "scientific" racism.

Interesting. Never would've guessed this was a modern thing
