Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Heredity and Social Evolution: The Other Side of Eugenics The application of the great laws of nature to the explanation of the history of the human race is one of the fascinating phases of science. In the study of the evolutionary processes of the organic world that has followed Darwin it has been generally as sumed that the laws which govern the rest of the animal world have also governed the evolution of mankind. That man holds a unique position in nature has been generally recognized; and some times this idea has been so prominent in the minds of scientists, as well as other classes of think ers, as to lead to the assumption that the develop ment of man has been a thing apart from the rest of the living world and due to some special stimulus. Most generally, however, it has been silently as sumed that mankind has been developed under the same kind of laws and forces that have been con cerned in the formation of the lower orders of nature. One of the more recent phases of this belief has found expression in the great interest taken in the modern study of eugenics; for this school is based upon the laws of inheritance as they have been determined by the study of the lower orders of nature which have then been applied to man.

Book excerpt: The Social Direction of Evolution: An Outline of the Science of Eugenics is a work by William E. Kellicott. Excerpt: "Eugenics has been defined as "the science of being well born." In the words of Sir Francis Galton, who may fairly be claimed as the founder of this newest of sciences, "Eugenics is the study of the agencies under social control, that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physically or mentally." The idea of definitely undertaking to improve the innate characteristics of the human race has been expressed repeatedly through centuries—fancifully, seriously, hopefully, and now scientifically. Since the times of Theognis and of Plato the student of animate Nature has been aware of the possibility of the degradation or of the elevation of the human race-characters. The conditions under which life exists gradually change: the customs and ideals of societies change rapidly. Times inevitably come when, if we are to maintain or to advance our racial position, we find it necessary to change in an adaptive way our attitude toward these changing social relations and conditions of life. If we neglect to do this we go down in the racial struggle, as history so clearly and so repeatedly warns us."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book William E. Kellicott explains what eugenics is, and the changes its practice aims to achieve in human society. This edition includes the original charts and illustrations. Written to present a clear and concise overview for the benefit of the public, Kellicott's summation of eugenics outlines the reasons why it should be implemented in society. Its central purpose, to promote good qualities and characteristics in humans by selective breeding, is detailed. Kellicott identifies the biological foundations of eugenics, and floats ideas as to how it might be carried out. While the concept of eugenics has existed since antiquity, there was a resurgence of interest in the late 19th century. Then-recent discoveries in evolutionary theory and genetic science were considered to have legitimized eugenics as both socially and scientifically sound; consequently, influential voices in society and academia openly favored its practice on a wide scale.

In the early 20th century, eugenics was considered an ascendant science with potentially enormous applications. The regulation of human fertility, with the intent of promoting positive traits and diminishing negative qualities, was thought a viable and even essential practice in the modern world. Its subsequent use by Nazi Germany during the 1930s as a means of legitimizing the pursuit of the perfect, Aryan race, diminished its popularity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eugenics movement prior to the Second World War gave voice to the desire of many social reformers to promote good births and prevent bad births. Two sources of cultural authority in this period, science and religion, often found common cause in the promotion of eugenics. The rhetoric of biology and theology blended in strange ways through a common framework known as degeneration theory. Degeneration, a core concept of the eugenics movement, served as a key conceptual nexus between theological and scientific reflection on heredity among Protestant intellectuals and social reformers in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. Elite efforts at social control of the allegedly "unfit" took the form of negative eugenics. This included marriage restrictions and even sterilization for many who were identified as having a suspect heredity. Speculations on heredity were deployed in identifying the feeble-minded, hereditary criminals, hereditary alcoholics, and racial minorities as presumed hindrances to the progress of civilization. A few social reformers trained in biology, anthropology, criminology, and theology eventually raised objections to the eugenics movement. Still, many thousands of citizens on the margins were labeled as defectives and suffered human rights violations during this turbulent time of social change.
