    Extractions: This entry contributed by Margherita Barile English scientist and cousin of Charles Darwin who was the first to apply statistical methods to scientific inquiry. After studying medicine in his hometown Birmingham, in London and in Cambridge, he decided to devote himself to geographic research. He undertook pioneering travels in Africa, the detailed accounts of which were published in 1853 (Egypt, Soudan) and 1891 (South Africa). He was the initiator of scientific meteorology: he invented the weather map, set up the theory of anticyclones and was the first to establish a complete record of short-term climatic phenomena on an European scale. He introduced the use of questionnaires and surveys for collecting data on human communities, which he needed for genealogical and biographical works ( English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture , 1874) and for his anthropological studies ( Inquiries into Human Faculty and its Development , 1883). Because of his statements on evolution and hereditary characters of mankind he is nowadays often regarded as a racist.

    Extractions: About this site Francis Galton Father of eugenics Dr Martin Brookes December 2001 Genetics is one of the fastest growing and most influential sciences of the 21st century, as illustrated by the recent decoding of the human genetic blueprint. But while few would deny that the Human Genome Project is an incredible achievement, some are concerned that it could lead to a new and frightening era of eugenics. Eugenics is the science of controlled breeding in order to increase desirable inherited characteristics. And its founder was Francis Galton. Eugenics origins Although it has a modern context, the origins of the eugenics controversy are as old as genetics itself, and both can be traced back to Galton. A distinguished and educated Victorian and cousin of Charles Darwin, Galton is a perfect example of conflict and contradiction in the world of science. We all acknowledge the good that genetics and medical science can do for us, but the fact remains that human genetics was a science born out of prejudice. Today's Galton Laboratory at University College London, now consumed by the Department of Biology, is the descendant of the Eugenics Record Office, founded by Galton in 1904. It was the first human genetics laboratory in the world. Early life Galton was born in Birmingham, UK into an illustrious scientific family. Living at a time when much of science, but particularly biology, was still in its infancy, he excelled in a range of subjects that would be unthinkable today. His boundless energy and restless curiosity were obvious from an early age. As a young man he gained a taste for travel and showed himself to be a fearless and dedicated explorer. Like his contemporary, Livingstone, he illuminated large chunks of uncharted Africa to European eyes. On his return to Britain, he re-invented himself as a

    Extractions: Published as: Whitney, G. (1999). Reproduction technology for a new eugenics. The Mankind Quarterly, XL, #2, 179-192. Introduction The first century or two of the new millennium will almost certainly be a golden age for eugenics. Through application of new genetic knowledge and reproductive technologies the Galtonian Revolution will come to fruition. This new revolution in the new millennium, which I call the Galtonian Revolution (Whitney, 1995; 1997a) will be more momentous for the future of mankind than was the Copernican Revolution or the Darwinian Revolution. For with the Galtonian Revolution, for the first time, the major changes will not be to ideas alone, but rather the major change will be to mankind itself. In order to briefly discuss some of the reproductive technology that will contribute to the new eugenics, I need first to define the term "eugenics". So many different people with so many different agendas have appropriated this neat word, coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883, that the word by itself can stand for almost anything (Whitney, 1990). Surely to some eugenics is a route to prevention rather than mere treatment of the ills of humanity. Also a path to the greatest good for the greatest number. To others eugenics is a new blasphemy, a devil-word; a term of hate and abhorrence, a term that in word associations is supposed to be linked with Hitler, Holocaust, genocide and the murder of innocents.

    Extractions: Extreme Measures: The Dark Visions and Bright Ideas of Francis Galton , by Martin Brookes, New York: Bloomsbury Publishing, 298 pages, $24.95 Francis Galton (1822–1911) was a distinguished polymath who made major contributions to a variety of intellectual fields. He pioneered the scientific use of statistics, explored and mapped part of southern Africa, created the modern weather map, sent out the first psychological questionnaire, invented composite photography, and developed a workable system for identifying fingerprints. One might almost consider him an ideal human intellectual specimen —he certainly would have. But by now, all his accomplishments have been shadowed by his most notorious intellectual predilection: Galton was the founder of eugenics, the study of selective breeding for the purpose of improving the human race. Galton’s eugenics dreams were adopted with singular earnestness by others, most notoriously Nazi Germany. Less well remembered is the extent to which eugenics also became a significant factor in the policies of democratic nations such as the United States and Sweden. In the U.S., more than 60,000 people in 30 states received involuntary sterilizations under eugenics-based laws in the early and mid 20th century; they included the mentally ill or retarded, physically ill or disabled, and others deemed socially inadequate. Eugenics also gave new impetus to immigration restrictions, racial segregation, and bans on interracial marriage. Largely in reaction against eugenics, the social sciences have veered sharply from biological and hereditary explanations during the last half-century. Today Galton’s specter rises again, as critics of biotechnology warn against a new era of eugenics it will supposedly enable.

70. Engineering Evolution: The Alchemy Of Eugenics
    Sir francis galton could be considered an early evolutionary alchemist. 6, galton, francis, Inquiries into Human Faculty and its Development, New York,

    Extractions: January 10, 2005 In the dark past of human civilization, the ruling class controlled humanity largely through religious institutions and mysticism. However, the turn of the century witnessed the epistemic transformation of the elite's religious power structure into a "scientific dictatorship." The history and background of this "scientific dictatorship" is a conspiracy, created and micro-managed through the historical tide of Darwinism, which has its foundations in Freemasonry. In this article, we shall examine the evolutionary alchemy of eugenics, from Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood to William Sims Bainbridge's Transhumanism. The Alchemical Transformation of Man A common misnomer that has been circulated by academia's anointed historians is that the alchemists of antiquity were attempting to transform lead into gold. In truth, this was a fiction promulgated by the alchemists themselves to conceal their ultimate objectives . . .the transformation of man into a god. Among one of the various occult organizations that aspired to complete this alchemical mission was Freemasonry. Providing a summation of Masonry's supreme goal, Masonic scholar W.L. Wilmshurst writes: This - the evolution of man into superman [emphasis - ADDED] - was always the purpose of the ancient Mysteries, and the real purpose of modern Masonry is, not the social and charitable purposes to which so much attention is paid, but the expediting of the spiritual evolution of those who aspire to perfect their own nature and transform it into a more god-like quality. And this is a definite science, a royal art, which it is possible for each of us to put into practice; whilst to join the Craft for any other purpose than to study and pursue this science is to misunderstand its meaning (Wilmshurst, p. 47, 1980).

    Extractions: The science of eugenics was invented by Sir Francis Galton, an amateur British scientist. The term eugenics was coined by Galton in 1883, though he had been doing research and writing in the field for some time before then. Galton also did research in several scientific fields including geography, meteorology and anthropology. Galton was the cousin of Charles Darwin and the son of a wealthy, influential family. In 1869 Galton wrote a book called Heredity Genius in which he followed the lives of several accomplished men from, what he considered good families. These good families, Galton claimed, were more likely to produce intelligent and talented offspring. Galton concluded that it was possible to produce "a highly gifted race of men" by the process of selective breeding, which he later termed "positive" eugenics. Discouraging the reproduction of "undesirables" was subsequently termed "negative" eugenics. (Dolan) The “negative” eugenics movement was much stronger than the “positive” eugenics and swept across the U.S.
