Book excerpt: Evolutionary selection has been radically relaxed in the human species as a result of the development of civilization, science in general, and medicine in particular. While these advances have hugely benefited current populations, they have to a significant degree released the species from the biological process which created it and maintains its viability. Formerly, natural selection took place largely as a result of differential mortality, but now that most people survive well beyond their child bearing years, selection is determined largely by differential fertility. Aside from genetic illnesses, this new selection is also characterized by a negative correlation between fertility and intelligencethe core of eugenic concern for over a century. Eugenics views itself as the fourth leg of the chair of civilization, the other three being a) a thrifty expenditure of natural resources, b) mitigation of environmental pollution, and c) maintenance of a human population not exceeding the planets carrying capacity. Eugenics, which can be thought of as human ecology, is thus part and parcel of the environmental movement. Humanity is defined, not as the totality of the currently living population, but as the number of people who will potentially ever live. This is a book about the struggle for human rights and parental responsibility.

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: Excerpt from Evolution, Heredity and Eugenics This little book is the result of an expressed need on the part of high school and college teachers for a more simple and compact treatment of organic evolution than has heretofore been available. Such monographic treatment the elementary textbooks, by virtue of their organization, do not supply. On the other hand, the covering of this topic adequately by supplementary reading has proved too large a task for the time available. So the design of this little book is to be supplementary to elementary biological texts; to furnish in brief and simple form a serviceable idea of modern conceptions in this great field, and of their significance in human life. In the whole history of thought nothing is more significant than the conception of evolution. When the evolution of organisms became an accepted doctrine, all fundamental ideas had to be recast in the new light. This is more than historic. It is an affair of today as well as of yesterday. The thinking of today that is most significant is thinking in terms of evolution. Intelligent interpretation of life depends upon it. Yet it is a fact that the "average citizen" has but the vaguest ideas of what evolution is. It is in our teaching of elementary biology in high schools that we have the best opportunity to correct this state of affairs. But it is a Cs- neglected opportunity. Certain present tendencies in science teaching leave small space in the elementary courses for anything which is suspected of being "abstract." Unfortunately evolution is under this suspicion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Eugenics: A Course of Lectures Summarizing Recent Advances in Knowledge, in Variation, Heredity, and Evolution and Its Relation, to Plant, Animal, and Human Improvement Ment and Welfare During the summer of 1911, a course of lectures on heredity and allied topics was given at the University of Chicago, under the auspices of the biological departments. The purpose of the course was to present the recent develop ments of knowledge in reference to variation, heredity, and evolution, and the application of this new knowledge to plant, animal, and human development and improvement. The lectures were not intended for those trained in biology, but for a general university audience, interested in the progress of genetics as a matter of information rather than of study. The lecturers, therefore, did not address themselves to their colleagues, and did not attempt to include any considerable amount of new material. It is believed that a much larger audience than the one originally addressed might be interested in this summary of results in one of the important and recently cultivated fields of biology, and therefore this volume has been published. It is hoped that it may perform a service not only for those interested in biology as a field outside their own experience, but also for those biologists whose work deals with other phases of biology.

It is hoped that it may perform a service not only for those interested in biology as a field outside their own experience, but also for those biologists whose work deals with other phases of biology. The lectures were given by five lecturers, with no opportunity to relate the lectures to one another other than as suggested by the assigned titles. It is inevitable that there should be more or less overlapping of statements, and no attempt has been made to avoid this. Each lecture, therefore, is complete in itself, as it was delivered.
