About This Item
The book in which the cousin of Charles Darwin, Francis Galton, coined the term "eugenics." The field of eugenics would eventually be regarded largely as pseudoscience and influence German racist ideology of the early 20th century but also essentially spawn the more-respectable sciences based on genetics as well as psychology. This text lays out the argument for the importance of genetics in the history of civilization.
