For this purpose, we focused on the ideas of Charles B. Davenport (1866-1944), his work team, and the institutional networks he contributed to establish. Davenport initially learned the notions and methods developed for eugenic research by Francis Galton (1822-1911) and Karl Pearson (1857-1936), who essentially applied statistical methods. However, by the same time the studies by Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) were rediscovered giving impetus to the incipient field of genetics and were also assimilated by Davenport into his eugenic project. Together with a discussion of the overall historical context that favored the development of eugenics in the US, we analyzed the works by Davenport as well as by some of his main collaborators, such as psychologist Henry Goddard (1866-1957) and eugenicist Harry Laughlin (1880-1943), as well as the repercussions of eugenics in US society in the early decades of the 20th century / A presente pesquisa abordou o desenvolvimento e institucionalização da ciência eugenista nos Estados Unidos nas primeiras décadas do século XX. Para tanto, focou-se nos trabalhos de Charles B. Davenport (1866-1944), seu grupo de trabalho e as redes institucionais que estabeleceu. Inicialmente, Davenport assimilou os conceitos e métodos de pesquisa eugenista desenvolvidos por Francis Galton (1822-1911) e Karl Pearson (1857-1936), que aplicaram basicamente uma abordagem estatística. No entanto, no mesmo período, são redescobertos os trabalhos de Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), associados à incipiente pesquisa genética, também assimilados por Davenport no seu projeto eugenista. Junto de uma discussão do contexto histórico geral que favoreceu as teses eugenistas nos EUA no período sob consideração, foram analisadas as publicações científicas de Davenport e de alguns de seus principais colaboradores, como o psicólogo Henry Goddard (1866-1957) e o eugenista Harry Laughlin (1880-1943), assim como as repercussões desse desenvolvimento na sociedade norte-americana nas três primeiras décadas do século XX
