Answer
Eugenics, meaning "well born," was introduced in the 1880s by Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin and the father of modern statistics. Galton pioneered the use of pedigrees, twin studies, and statistical correlation for the purpose of using that knowledge to improve "the breed of man."
After the turn of the century, "eugenics" developed into a world-wide movement led by scientists and scholars in diverse fields, funded by wealthy philanthropists, and supported by statesmen. Eugenics played an important and, at times, central role in the political, social, and intellectual history of many diverse peoples and nations.
Always controverisal, eugenics in theory and practice attracted criticism; opposition inspired revisions. Interpretations of eugenics and its particular manifestations in public policy varied according to time, place, and professional and political cultures. As the documents listed here show, the meaning of eugenics has shifted with each generation.
