In 1911, the influential geneticist Charles Davenport published
Heredity in Relation to Eugenics, advancing his ideas of how
genetics would improve society in the 20th century. It became a
college textbook and a foundation for the widespread eugenics
movement in the United States. Nearly 100 years later, many of the
issues raised by Davenport are again being debated, in different
guises. In this new volume, prominent academics discuss themes from
Davenport's book-human genetic variation, mental illness, nature
vs. nurture, human evolution-in a contemporary context. Davenport's
original book is reprinted along with the essays. This book will be
useful to historians of science as well as those interested in the
social implications of human genetics research-past, present, and
future.
