I was watching a PBS documentary about the first humans in the Americas. All the scientists are super cool until you get to the American anthropologist who starts using phrenology to explain why Native American tribes shouldn't be given repatriation rights, only for a Danish geneticist to say "yeah, this is absolutely a Native American and i am willing to testify to that in any court of law"

Pseudoscience is still all the rage if it can be used to push a political agenda.
