Freak show studies

What drew my attention the most in Bogdan's article is that scientist basically used the freaks in the show as test subjects. I think it showed the most that this was a period of increasing curiosity in the study of human anatomy and geological origins of people. It also showed the lack of values that these researchers had. They didn't view these people as humans but merely objects to observe.
