Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Evolution, Genetics, and Eugenics The one-man textbook is only too often written to emphasize the author's pet theories and is likely to be unduly biased. The present work is completely non-partisan. It consists Of the writ ings Of many authors and presents many diverse theories. The student is left to balance the various views one against another and to form his own judgment. It is very unfortunate, but none the less true, that even in these scientific days, the subject of evolution has a bad name in many communities and in many educational institutions with religious affiliations. The mistake is made of supposing that evolution and religion are diametrically opposed. The present writer has been at some pains to make it clear that evolution and religion are strictly compatible. We teachers of evolution in the colleges have no Sinister designs upon the religious faith Of our students.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Eugenics The central problem of evolution is still the nature and causes of variation, while the practical problems of eugenics centre about heredity. Variation in past ages has already endowed the human race with an almost infinite variety of types and characters, many of the latter alternative in their inheritance. We have only to compare those we know best with their relatives and ancestors to realise how minute are the resemblances and differences which may be handed on to descendants and collateral lines. These are, no doubt, chiefly a matter of biological inheritance, though similarity of environment may play a' part in certain cases. Probably in no other species of animal or plant does the number of differences between individuals approach the number to be Observed in man. This is to be expected, because of the mental and physical complexity of the human organism; but it does not imply greater intrinsic variability than in other animals or plants.

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.

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 Readings in Evolution, Genetics, and Eugenics This book has been prepared to meet a specific demand, long felt here and elsewhere, for an account of the various phases of evolutionary biology condensed within the scope of one volume of moderate size. The present writer has now for sixteen successive years presented in lecture form to large classes of students the subjects of evolution, genetics, and eugenics. Never have we been able to find a single book that would cover the required ground. In fact it has been necessary to require, or at least to recommend, as many as three books. It is believed that the present book will furnish adequate reading material for a major or a semester course in evolutionary biology. Some supplementary reading may be necessary in case an instructor wishes to emphasize one or more phases of the subject; but for a first course in the subject we believe that all of the essential reading material will be found within the text itself. An effort has been made to present the subject in the best pedagogical order. After a general introduction, a rather long chapter appears in which the whole history of the development of evolutionary science is outlined, together with the names and contributions of the leading evolutionists. Part II is a presentation of the evidences of organic evolution, beginning with the bodies of evidence most definite and direct, and ending with the less definite and more controversial. Part III deals with causo-mechanical theories of evolution with Darwinism as the central topic. Part IV concerns itself with genetics or modern experimental evolution, and Part with eugenics, or genetics as applied to human improvement. The book consists largely of excerpts, some long and some short, from both the older classical evolutionary writers and the modern writers. Our aim has been to select the most significant or characteristic passages from each author. In most cases this ideal has been attained, but it has sometimes happened that we have had to make our selection of material to meet a real need hi the book, and accordingly have selected from an author a passage he himself might not consider particularly characteristic of his work. We have succeeded, nevertheless, in welding together out of a collection of isolated chapters and passages what seems to us to be a close approach to a coherent unit. Unification has been accomplished by the aid of editorial connecting passages, introductory statements, criticisms, and summaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heredity of Richard Roe: A Discussion of the Principles of Eugenics The knowledge of the science of Eugenics will sooner or later develop the art. Knowledge will lead to better men. At present, through the agencies of charities which perpetuate the weak, or war which eliminates the strong, and of an education which makes celibacy a condition of success, we are in a degree reversing the processes of natural selec tion. If the fittest do not serve as par ents, the next generations will not in herit fitness. In the present discussion, Richard Roe, a familiar figure in legal practice, serves as a lay figure of heredity, and in tracing his career some of the leading facts and principles of Eugenics are brought under notice. It may be notedthat a preliminary essay bearing the same title was published in Footnotes to Evolution (appleton, a vol ume now out of print.
