Charles Davenport était un éminent biologiste américain et une figure de proue dans le domaine de l'eugénisme. Ses recherches se sont concentrées sur l'héritabilité des traits humains, notamment la personnalité, l'intelligence et les caractéristiques mentales. Il a étudié les bases génétiques de diverses conditions telles que l'alcoolisme, la criminalité et d'autres aspects comportementaux. Le travail de Davenport a considérablement façonné les discussions sur la génétique et la société au début du XXe siècle.
