The Dark Clan

Suddenly, the morning of a gloomy day in December, I
found in the skull of a brigand a very long series of atavis-
tic anomalies… The problem of the nature and of the origin
of the criminal seemed to me resolved; the characters of
primitive men and of inferior animals must be reproduced
in our times. 16
Lombroso and his assistants also claimed that longer
arms, a narrow and setback forehead, big ears, a thick skull
and a big protruding chin are the basic physical characteris-

tics of the born criminal. They further claimed that tattoos
originated in and belonged to tribal Africa, and therefore that
people who have tattoos are some sort of human primate,
and that therefore it should be perceived as normal that they
are more inclined to commit crimes. Thus, it became justifi-
able for people with tattoos to commit crimes.

This crude method of determining guilt by examining
skulls, measuring the length of arms, and searching the bod-
ies for tattoos was an error of the era's primitive scientific
standards and was abandoned as times moved on. Yet even
today, evolutionary scientists are continuing to defend simi-
lar theories albeit they are presented in a more "scientific"
fashion. According to them crime is not the result of a devia-

tion from the natural self but an act of the so-called evolu-
tionary nature of man.
