The Origin of Down Syndrome

I used to believe that Down Syndrome was an extremely mean name for the condition. I thought that down part somehow referred to people that have it being "below normal people."
It wasn't till I took biology that I learned it was named after a doctor.

Interestingly enough, my captcha includes the word "phenotype"
