Intro to Ethnic Studies
Eugenics is a social and scientific movement aimed at improving the genetic quality of a human population through selective breeding and other forms of intervention. It has roots in the belief that certain traits, particularly those associated with intelligence, health, and morality, can be inherited and that controlling reproduction can enhance societal well-being. This ideology has historically been tied to racial categorization and scientific racism, promoting the idea that some races are superior to others based on perceived genetic traits.
