This can be seen through the features such as: dark skin, thick lips, curly hair which reflects racism within Italy at the time he was working. -Described atavistic form as ‘uncivilised, primitive + savage’ - could support eugenics philosophy that were prominent at the time. -May have been unintentional on Lombroso's part, but it has ethical implications that have overshadowed the approach
