Aryan race theory

The Aryan race theory is a discredited idea that falsely claims a superior "Aryan" race, often associated with white Europeans, is the original and superior human race. Originating in 19th-century racial theories, it was misused to justify racism, eugenics, and Nazi ideology, suggesting that "Aryans" were superior to other groups. Modern science refutes these notions, showing that race is a social construct with no scientific basis for ranking human worth or abilities.
