RACE, DEGENERACY AND EUGENICS IN THE LATE 19TH/ EARLY 20TH CENTURIES

In the 19th century, in fields as diverse as evolutionary theory (Darwin) and
bacteriology (Pasteur), ‘the human sciences’ as we know it today were born.

Along with the promise of progress, science simultaneously espoused ideas about
racial purity and ‘degeneration’. Sadly, many contemporary views on human nature
have been greatly influenced by that seemingly distant world of social
engineering and eugenic speculation.

And it is this haunting presence that so regularly appears to derail the
progress we were promised. 

Learn about the dawn of the eugenics movement and how concepts of race, purity,
and degeneracy intertwined in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
