Control

The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics

Adam Rutherford

Discover the controversial history and modern-day significance of eugenics in Control. Geneticist Adam Rutherford reveals how this theory, inspired by Darwin's ideas, was embraced by presidents and Gilded Age monopolists and even became the ideological cornerstone for the Third Reich. Despite its horrific past, eugenics still figures large as modern genetics advances. Rutherford dissects recurring questions about the effectiveness of eugenics in Nazi Germany and its validity today, exposing the intellectual bankruptcy of the idea and the scientific impossibility of its realization.
