Count Georges Vacher de Lapouge (12 December 1854, Neuville-de-Poitou – 20 February 1936, Poitiers) was a French anthropologist and a theoretician of eugenics and racialism. == Biography == While a young law student at the University of Poitiers, Vacher de Lapouge read Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin.〔Hecht, Jennifer Michael (2013). ''The End of the Soul: Scientific Modernity, Atheism, and Anthropology in France''. Columbia University Press, p. 190.〕 In 1879 he gained a doctorate degree in law and became a magistrate in Niort (Deux-Sèvres) and a prosecutor in Le Blanc. He then studied history and philology at the École pratique des hautes études, and learned several languages such as Akkadian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Chinese, and Japanese at the École du Louvre and at School of Anthropology in Paris from 1883 to 1886. From 1886 Vacher de Lapouge taught anthropology at the University of Montpellier, advocating Francis Galton's eugenic thesis, but was expelled in 1892 because of his socialist activities〔 Boissel, Jean (1982). “George Vacher de Lapouge: Un Socialiste Revolutionnaire Darwinien,” ''Nouvelle Ecole'' 13, pp. 59–83. 〕 (he co-founded Jules Guesde's French Workers' Party and ran in 1888 for city mayor in the Montpellier municipal election). He worked later as a librarian at the University of Rennes until his retirement in 1922. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georges Vacher de Lapouge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
