In a series of horrific photographs, a deep and dark past history of human zoos is exposed. Sadly, Westerners would keep people from around the world in ‘human zoos’ so that random people could come and gape at them in their habitats.
Many of these images were taken in a recently as 1958, proving that inhumane and racist treatment of different ethnicities took place merely decades ago. Those that were deemed primitive by the Western world would be placed in cages and treated like animals by the Western world in order to educate the population about the various nations.
