The progress of eugenics : growth of knowledge and change in ideology / Nils Roll-Hansen.
Abstract:
'This paper sketches the general development of eugenics from the beginning of the 20th century up to its middle; concentrating on a comparison of England and America with Germany and Scandinavia. The main purpose is to bring out the role that genetic science played in the process through advances in knowledge as well as through a normative influence of scientific method on public thinking.'
