       “Fischer hypothesised that white Europeans had asymmetrical skulls to accommodate larger right frontal lobes, supposedly a marker of higher intelligence. However, Irawati's research found no correlation between race and skull asymmetry.She boldly presented her findings, risking her mentor's ire and her degree. Fischer gave her the lowest grade, but her research critically and scientifically rejected the use of human differences to justify discrimination. (Later, the Nazis would use Fischer's theories of racial superiority to further their agenda and Fischer would join the Nazi party.)”https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93qqq5g416o
