Jerry Bergman has donated the article A Brief History of the Eugenics Movement. Dr Bergman's conclusion on Eugenics (= racial improvement by scientific control of breeding) are reminiscent of the conclusions of \"Anonymous\" on the related topic Social Darwinism. (Investigator 33) <\/p>\n
Social Darwinism was the theory that \"societies and classes evolve under the principle of survival of the fittest.\" With eugenics such evolution toward better\/fitter societies could in principle be speeded up. <\/p>\n
Dr Bergman shows that eugenic ideas were supported by many scientists, were contrary to the Bible, discouraged help to the poor, culminated in the Holocaust, and became untenable with newer scientific research. \"Anonymous\" showed the same of Social Darwinism. <\/p>\n
