In the early 20th century, the Rockefeller Foundation funded diverse scientific fields, including archaeology and genetics, with the explicit goal of understanding and influencing human social behavior.

The event resulted in dozens of deaths, including women and children, and became a major PR disaster for the family. This tragedy accelerated the transition of the Rockefeller image from business moguls to pure philanthropists under John D. Rockefeller Jr.
