Book Synopsis Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics by : Adam Rutherford
Download or read book Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics written by Adam Rutherford and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did an obscure academic idea pave the way to the Holocaust within just fifty years? Control is a book about eugenics, what geneticist Adam Rutherford calls “a defining idea of the twentieth century.” Inspired by Darwin’s ideas about evolution, eugenics arose in Victorian England as a theory for improving the British population, and quickly spread to America, where it was embraced by presidents, funded by Gilded Age monopolists, and enshrined into racist American laws that became the ideological cornerstone of the Third Reich. Despite this horrific legacy, eugenics looms large today as the advances in genetics in the last thirty years—from the sequencing of the human genome to modern gene editing techniques—have brought the idea of population purification back into the mainstream. Eugenics has “a short history, but a long past,” Rutherford writes. The first half of Control is the history of an idea, from its roots in key philosophical texts of the classical world all the way into their genocidal enactment in the twentieth century. The second part of the book explores how eugenics operates today, as part of our language and culture, as part of current political and racial discussions, and as an eternal temptation to powerful people who wish to improve society through reproductive control. With disarming wit and scientific precision, Rutherford explains why eugenics still figures prominently in the twenty-first century, despite its genocidal past. And he confronts insidious recurring questions—did eugenics work in Nazi Germany? And could it work today?—revealing the intellectual bankruptcy of the idea, and the scientific impossibility of its realization.
Book Synopsis Human Heredity (Classic Reprint) by : Casper Lavater Redfield
Download or read book Human Heredity (Classic Reprint) written by Casper Lavater Redfield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Heredity Perhaps so and perhaps not. Just at present we are not interested in crossing the white raceon a race of some other color, and if we should do so the law would prevent us from breeding brother and sister together to get the Mendelian segregation. Up to the present it has not been shown that we can get pure whites and pure blacks by breeding Mulattos together. Also, we are not particularly interested in inches in height, color of hair, or shape of physical organs, and these are the things with which the Mendelian theory deals. In a political campaign, the politi cal orator, in bringing forward the merits of his candidate, does not say: Vote for my man, he has brown eyes and curly hair, and is much superior to the other fellow, who has red hair and a pug nose. We are interested in improvements in mental power, physical strength and endurance, vitality, resistance to disease, and longevity. These are not unit characters at all, and consequently do not come under the Mendelian theory. Ou this point I will refer the reader to the New York Medical Journal for September 21, 1918.

Book Synopsis Thinking about Evolution by : Rama S. Singh
Download or read book Thinking about Evolution written by Rama S. Singh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2001, this is the second of two volumes published by Cambridge University Press in honour of Richard Lewontin. This second volume of essays honours the philosophical, historical and political dimensions of his work. It is fitting that the volume covers such a wide range of perspectives on modern biology, given the range of Lewontin's own contributions. He is not just a very successful practitioner of evolutionary genetics, but a rigorous critic of the practices of genetics and evolutionary biology and an articulate analyst of the social, political and economic contexts and consequences of genetic and evolutionary research. The volume begins with an essay by Lewontin on Natural History and Formalism in Evolutionary Genetics, and includes contributions by former students, post-docs, colleagues and collaborators, which cover issues ranging from the history and conceptual foundations of evolutionary biology and genetics, to the implications of human genetic diversity.

Download or read book Evil Genes written by Barbara Oakley, PhD and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever heard of a person who left you wondering, "How could someone be so twisted? So evil?" Prompted by clues in her sister’s diary after her mysterious death, author Barbara Oakley takes the reader inside the head of the kinds of malevolent people you know, perhaps all too well, but could never understand. Starting with psychology as a frame of reference, Oakley uses cutting-edge images of the working brain to provide startling support for the idea that "evil" people act the way they do mainly as the result of a dysfunction. In fact, some deceitful, manipulative, and even sadistic behavior appears to be programmed genetically—suggesting that some people really are born to be bad. Oakley links the latest findings of molecular research to a wide array of seemingly unrelated historical and current phenomena, from the harems of the Ottomans and the chummy jokes of "Uncle Joe" Stalin, to the remarkable memory of investor Warren Buffet. Throughout, she never loses sight of the personal cost of evil genes as she unravels the mystery surrounding her sister’s enigmatic life—and death. Evil Genes is a tour-de-force of popular science writing that brilliantly melds scientific research with intriguing family history and puts both a human and scientific face to evil.

Book Synopsis Building the New Man by : Francesco Cassata
Download or read book Building the New Man written by Francesco Cassata and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on previously unexplored archival documentation, this book offers the first general overview of the history of Italian eugenics, not limited to the decades of Fascist regime, but instead ranging from the beginning of the 1900s to the first half of the 1970s. The Author discusses several fundamental themes of the comparative history of eugenics: the importance of the Latin eugenic model; the relationship between eugenics and fascism; the influence of Catholicism on the eugenic discourse and the complex links between genetics and eugenics. It examines the Liberal pre-fascist period and the post-WW2 transition from fascist and racial eugenics to medical and human genetics. As far as fascist eugenics is concerned, the book provides a refreshing analysis, considering Italian eugenics as the most important case-study in order to define Latin eugenics as an alternative model to its Anglo-American, German and Scandinavian counterparts. Analyses in detail the nature-nurture debate during the State racist campaign in fascist Italy (1938–1943) as a boundary tool in the contraposition between the different institutional, political and ideological currents of fascist racism.
