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.

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.

Download or read book Eugenics Classic Reprint written by Edcar Schuster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugenics At present, 'the best that Is In his nature' is often a poor thing. Eugenics aims at making it a little better by whatever means may prove practicable. In this it differs from, and goes farther than, the agencies enumerated, whose efforts it seeks to supple ment, but not to supersede. Eugenists form no homogeneous sect or party, recognise no common leader, are confined to no country, and differ widely in their methods and beliefs; but they appear to the present writer to subscribe implicitly, if not explicitly, to a common creed, which may be outlined as follows - Each individual, as he passes through life to its end in death, derives his active qualities at each moment, Of what ever nature they may be, from the inter action Of two separate, yet not wholly independent, causes. The one may be called his inborn potentiality or capacity for development; the other the environment, Or the mental, moral, and physical surround ings in which his life is spent. The inborn potentiality may have a material basis in the chemical or mechanical constitution Of the body, or some part or parts of it, or may depend on some mysterious property Of living matter, unknown entirely to physical science. We need form no opinion of its ultimate nature, yet may agree that it is largely derived from a similar capacity inherent in the parents or ancestry. This is the true meaning of heredity. We have no direct means of judging what poten tialities are present in any individual case, but can only Observe what active qualities of body or mind present themselves, and accordingly the outward manifestation of heredity is the similarity shown between parents and children, ancestors and descend ants, with regard to these. The inborn potentiality has been called 'nature, ' while the term 'nurture' has been used to denote the environment which works on it as it unfolds into recognisable qualities. Both these terms lack something in precision, and have degenerated into catch-words; yet, as there is nothing better to substitute for them, they will be used in the senses just defined.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Being Well-Born: An Introduction to Eugenics The writer recalls that when he was a young boy, he heard the grown-up people in the community earnestly and incessantly debating the question: Does heredity play a greater part in shaping one's mind and body than does his environment? From that day to this he has listened to men and women in every walk of life discussing the relation of heredity to environment in determining human traits. Teachers and parents are constantly asking: "Are such and such characteristics in my children due to their inheritance or to the way they have been trained?" Students of juvenile delinquency and of mental defect and deficiency are searching everywhere for light on this matter. It is not to be wondered at that practically all people are peculiarly interested in this problem, since it concerns intimately one's personal traits, and it constantly confronts any one who is responsible for the care and culture of the young. It is suggestive to note how people differ in their views regarding the extent to which a child's physical and mental qualities and capacities are fixed definitely by his inheritance. The writer has often heard students in university classes discuss the subject; and their handling of the problem has shown how superficially and even superstitiously most persons regard the mechanism and functions of heredity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genetics and Eugenics: A Text-Book for Students of Biology and a Reference Book for Animal and Plant Breeders This book is an attempt to present, in a form as simple and readily intelligible as possible, the subject of heredity, as related to man and his creatures, the domestic animals and cultivated plants. To write such a book has been with the author a long cherished ambition, but one which, as the years went by, seemed less and less likely of realization, as knowl edge oi the subject increased and took on more and more complicated forms. Each year, however, he has been forced by his responsibilities as a teacher, to make, for students having only an elementary knowledge of biology, an analysis and summary of our knowledge of this subject to date. The longer he has continued to do this, the more fully he has realized that a subject in a state of healthy growth can never assume a final and finished form. He makes no apology, therefore, for presenting the subject with very unevenly and incompletely developed parts. Such, it must be confessed, is the present state of our knowl edge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applied Eugenics The science of eugenics consists of a foundation of biology and a superstructure of sociology. Galton, its founder, em phasized both parts in due proportion. Until recently, how ever, most sociologists have been either indifferent or hostile to eugenics, and the science has been left for the most part in the hands Of biologists, who have naturally worked most on the foundations and neglected the superstructure. Although we are not disposed to minimize the importance of the biological part, we think it desirable that the means of applying the biological principles should be more carefully studied. The reader of this book will, consequently, find only a summary explanation of the mechanism of inheritance. Emphasis has rather been laid on the practical means by which society may encourage the re production of superior persons and discourage that of inferiors.

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.
