Монгол Тодотгол | Mongolian Identity

from Paws Mongolia · host Paws Mongolia

This episode is in Mongolian.Today’s episode is deeply personal.As someone living abroad, I have become more aware of how certain words travel across cultures—and how they can quietly affect identity, confidence, and perception.In this episode, I explore the history of the term “Mongoloid”—where it came from, why it was used in science and medicine, and how it became outdated, inaccurate, and harmful.This is not just a discussion about language.It is about identity, history, and the responsibility of correcting what no longer belongs in modern understanding.I also reflect on how Mongolians, especially those living abroad, have experienced this word—and how awareness, education, and action are slowly changing its global use.Down syndrome was first described in 1866 by the English physician John Langdon Down. Its genetic cause was later identified in 1959 by the French geneticist Jérôme Lejeune.If you’re enjoying this podcast, please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Харин түүний генетикийн шалтгаан нь XX зууны дунд үед, 1959 онд Францын генетикч Jérôme Lejeune-аар тогтоогдсон.Хэрэв танд энэ подкаст таалагдаж байвал Spotify болон Apple Podcasts дээр үнэлгээ өгч, сэтгэгдэл үлдээнэ үү.
