The school that had 22000 stolen corpses from indigenous and enslaved people as of 2022 didn't consider indigenous people? Shocking.

When you just google "harvard human remains", there's so many different results, you have to be more specific. Did you mean the 7000 bodies they kept for eugenics research, the organ smuggling ring in 2023, the book bound in human skin?, the routine grave robbing during the 1800s?

Jesus. I always assumed there was creepy, evil "rich people doing weird shit" kinda stuff going on behind the scenes there, but this is worse than the masked-bloodpact-orgy-dressup deal I imagined.

Harvard makes irl super villains. Just have a glance at their alumni.
