The whole idea of eugenics began in 1869 from a relative of Charles Darwin. This belief really caught on in the early 1900s, when the government enacted strict immigration quotas and forced sterilization on people with mental and physical disabilities, alcoholics, criminals, the homeless, and prostitutes. Also ,many people in underserved populations were sterilized, usually without their consent. The whole ideas is the nature determines everything.
What is so ironic is that this insane idea was adopted by Nazi Germany, who took it up a notch.
This whole concept of “survival of the fittest” encouraged “superior” people to have more children (sound familiar?) while discouraging or preventing “inferior” people from reproducing.
Fortunately, eugenics became discredited by real science.
