Eugenics manifesto

Eugenics manifesto was the name given to an article supporting eugenics, published in 1939 in the journal Nature, entitled Social Biology and Population Improvement.^[1]^[2]

In 2004, John Glad wrote that the document denounced Hitler's racism and the economic and political conditions that create antagonism between the races.^[3] "The Second World War had already begun, and the authors explicitly decried antagonism between races and theories according to which certain good or bad genes are the monopoly of certain peoples."^[1]
