Как, однако, изменился мир за сто лет. Насколько удивительными и неожиданными оказываются иногда заголовки старых газет.
Women See Eugenic Setback After War
WAR is the greatest enemy of eugenics. The nations engaged in the conflict in Europe will suffer for several generations from the lack of fine fatherhood for their children.
Chicago Daily Tribune, Dec 20, 1914
Чтобы два раза не вставать, тем более что на ту же тему:
Одна из первых рецензий на "Происхождение видов", положительная.
Natural Selection Not Inconsistent with Natural Theology
(by Thomas Huxley, The Atlantic Monthly, July 1860)
And if natural selection, with artificial to help it, will produce better animals and better men than the present, and fit them better to the conditions of existence, why, let it work, say we, to the top of its bent.
The prospect of the future, accordingly, is on the whole pleasant and encouraging. It is only the backward glance, the gaze up the long vista of the past, that reveals anything alarming. Here the lines converge as they recede into the geological ages, and point to conclusions which, upon the theory, are inevitable, but hardly welcome. The very first step backward makes the negro and the Hottentot our blood-relations - not that reason or Scripture objects to that, though pride may. The next suggests a closer association of our ancestors of the olden time with "our poor relations" of the quadrumanous family than we like to acknowledge.
Fortunately, however - even if we must account for him scientifically - man with his two feet stands upon a foundation of his own. Intermediate links between the Bimana and the Quadrumana are lacking altogether; so that, put the genealogy of the brutes upon what footing you will, the four-handed races will not serve for our forerunners - at least, not until some monkey, live or fossil, is producible with great-toes, instead of thumbs, upon his nether extremities; or until some lucky geologist turns up the bones of his ancestor and prototype in France or England...
Почему никто не обвиняет современных пропонентов разумного дизайна и теистической эволюции в связях с евгеникой и нацизмом?
