The Groundwork of Eugenics (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book is an investigation of the science of human society, particularly as it applies to the breeding of superior humans. The author was a pioneer in the developing field of eugenics. He set the framework for this new concept based on the theories of evolution that were prominent in his time. The author defines eugenics as the science of improving the human race through controlled selective breeding and stresses that the best way to ensure the reproduction of the most desirable human traits is to allow the ‘fit’ to reproduce at a higher rate than the ‘unfit’. The book argues that the lower classes are unfit to procreate and discusses how this could be prevented. The author's ideas have been hugely influential, though controversial, and have been cited by individuals and organizations in many different parts of the world as a justification for various eugenic policies.
