Eugenics, which is the forced sterilisation of people with unwanted traits, and race science, which argues for the superiority of certain ethnic groups, have a long and devastating history but the two strands of thought still appeal to some.
Sabisky has since resigned and Dawkins has clarified that he is opposed to eugenics from a moral perspective but their comments show that strands of thought once considered obsolete and historically tainted, are lurking not far outside the paradigms of acceptable debate.Eugenics and race science have had a co-dependent history ever since their development in the early nineteenth century.
In the case of the former, many leading thinkers in the west used race science to justify their own self-perception as being superior to other races and toin Africa, Latin America, and Asia, as a natural consequence of that superiority. By the time World War II had ended, six million Jews had been killed, as well as millions of Slavs, Roma, and other supposed ‘undesirables’.
