In my reading I am finding that every single European field of study was used in the late 18th and 19th century to justify racism, and to put Africa at the bottom. And the Hamitic theory comes from that.
They had to work so hard at it because before then, it was common knowledge even in Europe that Egypt was Europe's mother-culture (through the Greeks).
