The Truth About Eugenics
In present times eugenics represent a widely misunderstood phenomenon mostly due to the current tendencies of moving away from and degrading the notion of individual and distinct human races. In times of unprecedented advancements in attaining very detailed and comprehensive knowledge about the human genome and everything related, the knowledge on how to improve and better human beings on a genetic and biological level has gradually been abolished from the slightest semblance of practical application.
Eugenics draws its meaning from Greek [1]:
“eugenes "well-born, of good stock, of noble race," from eu- "good" (see eu-) + genos "birth" (from PIE root *gene- "give birth, beget".
Contrary to popular belief, this is not a “racist”, nor a “white-supremacist” ideology. Eugenics is the science of selective reproduction in order to create the fittest future generations. This reality or life and reproduction has no place in a world where people have been led to believe that race is a “social construct” and an obsolete label to categorize people by physical appearance or skin color. The complexity of genetics go far beyond these superficial and dumped-down explanations and apply for every single race.
It is generally accepted that Eugenics was created as a socio-biological concept in the 19th century by Francis Galton, the half-cousin of Charles Darwin [2], although it has informally existed and been practiced for as long as living beings existed as a natural part of life. At the time of its inception and for around 6 decades Eugenics was widely regarded and accepted within the scientific circles exactly for what it represents as described by Francis Galton in his book “Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development” and over the years generated other renown geneticists such as Paul Popenoe, Roswell Hill Johnston or Alfred Poetz with activity in genetics and other forms of associated formal research.
The only reason the science of Eugenics has a bad reputation is simply because Third Reich Germany who lost WW2 has invested into Eugenics as a means to create stronger and healthier future generations of Germans. Since the winners of the war (i.e. the anti-human oligarchy that always had the last word during WW2 as much as they do today) have been at liberty to write whatever they considered fit for their interest about Germany, labeling the National-Socialists as “racist”, “genocidal”, “white-supremacist”, “antisemitic” etc., Eugenics have fallen into the same pot of endless and conspicuous slander and smear because those who lost the war practiced it as a means of general health and genetic betterment of their people, also because it didn’t identify anymore with the direction science was to follow about race (influenced and lobbied into this direction by external foreign factors), and not because Eugenics was ever in itself a prejudicial, untrue or unjustified practice.
Interestingly, one of the very first known and applied eugenic settings in modern history occurred in an Oneida religious community, New York, between 1869 – 1879 and it comprised of 58 children born by parents “handpicked” for specific qualities. An article about this program can be found in the scientific platform and home of peer-reviewed articles and studies Taylor & Francis, citing [3]:
“Between 1869 and 1880 there was a selective breeding programme (“stirpiculture”) with parents chosen for intellectual, physical and spiritual characteristics. Fifty‐eight children were born. The programme was inspired by Noyes' theology of Perfectionism, Plato's Republic, agricultural selective breeding and concerns about human heredity. It was later justified by Noyes with the writings of Darwin and Galton. The children were followed up and deemed to be superior in physique, intellect, health and other characteristics.”
This is consistent with the works and conclusions of Paul Popenoe and Roswell Hill Johnston from 30 years later in their book Applied Eugenics, citing (page 98) [4]:
“We have now established the bases for a practicable eugenics program. Men differ; these differences are inherited; therefore the make-up of the race can be changed by any method which will alter the relative proportions of the contributions which different classes of men make to the following generation.
For applied eugenics, it is sufficient to know that mental and physical differences are inherited;”
Kariogram of human genome [5]
The kariogram above resembles basically the blueprint of a human being. The human genome consists of 22 pairs of chromosomes and one pair of “sex chromosomes” that determine the gender – male or female – of a human. Each individual chromosome is made of 50 to 240 million DNA double-helix bases and they exist in every single cell of the body. The above package that is inherited from the two parents contains the genetic information based on which a human will evolve starting from the very early beginnings after sexual intercourse [6]:
“During sexual intercourse, the interaction between the male and female reproductive systems results in fertilization of the ovum by the sperm to form a zygote. While normal cells contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), gamete cells only contain 23 single chromosomes, and it is when these two cells merge into one zygote cell that genetic recombination occurs and the new zygote contains 23 chromosomes from each parent, giving it 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). The zygote then undergoes a defined development process that is known as human embryogenesis, and this starts the typical 9-month gestation period that is followed by childbirth.”
It is only logical and sensible to understand that the genetic package inherited from the two parents has a major contribution to one’s intelligence, personality, health, physical features, bone structure, strength and so on. Everything about a human is to certain extents preceded in his/her genetic code. The genetic code is the instruction upon which a body is evolving. This means that creating fitter, healthier, more intelligent and stronger people is possible by selective reproduction, encouraging and creating the environment for the males and females with the best qualities to reproduce and give birth to ideally larger number of offspring in order to ensure a rich genetic pool that gets stronger and stronger with every generation. And this is certainly not a solely “White’s thing”. Everything mentioned above applies equally to Asian, Black and other populations, including Jewish populations which as a particular and individual race they do actually practice Eugenics.
Now, there is probably a large number of people who consider that Eugenics are unnecessary, abnormal for “current times” and that the solution for creating better future generations lies in the form of euthenics [7]:
“Euthenics is the study of improvement of human functioning and well-being by improvement of living conditions. "Improvement" is conducted by altering external factors such as education and the controllable environments, including environmentalism, education regarding employment, home economics, sanitation, and housing, as well as the prevention and removal of contagious disease and parasites.”
While it sounds reasonable and effective in theory, in reality and practice euthenics cannot exist without some degree of eugenics. By observing the world around us, observing how civilizations evolved and collapsed in ancient times, how countries have developed in the last centuries, a conclusion based on such observational evidence is that racial conservationism is one of the main contributory factors to improving living conditions. Living conditions are in almost all instances better in nations with racially homogeneous populations, such as Northern and Western Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea etc. compared to nations consisting predominantly of people with multi-racial backgrounds such South American countries, India, Middle East, Caribbean nations etc. The very same scenario and “map distribution” so to say applies to intelligence coefficient, educational and medical systems, generally accepted moral and ethic values that populations adhere to (law compliance, natural inter-relations between humans etc.) and other important factors that contribute to superior living conditions.
What the above demonstrates is that widespread and uncontrolled race-mixing has the exact opposite effect of eugenics, it creates populations where corruption, extremism, violence are prevalent, education and intelligence are disregarded and poorly funded and economies and living conditions are inferior, while racially homogeneous nations have superior economies, living conditions, education etc. These factors combined create the conditions for vast numbers of people from South America, Middle East, India and Bangladesh etc. to leave their home countries and seek better living conditions in more homogeneous countries such as United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Northern Europe etc.
It is quite obvious that some degree of (unwritten) eugenics do exist that shape the above reality. Ironically, many people are fairly aware of eugenic laws within the animal kingdom. Many people breed only specific pure species of dogs because such species are the most fit and helpful for humans in various activities. Labradors make very skilled hunting dogs, German Shepherds are the main breed used in police activities etc. People breed pure species of horses, cats and other household animals, however strangely enough many cannot comprehend that the very same applies to humans and human races as well.
Another instance where eugenics exist in an unwritten but blatant manner is a form of socio-economic eugenics so to say where, in the vast majority of cases, people are naturally going to seek partners and friends that are within the same parameters of social status and financial income, for example men and women commonly meet and marry from within their working environment, wider groups of friends or from other activities and environments they partake in together. On this note there are few companies such as Instant Chemistry that provide “genetic compatibility” tests for couples companies that are supposed to assess how compatible a couple is genetically, sexually, psychologically etc. It has to be said however that such are bound to be very superficial given the sort of views science currently holds on human races and also the compatibility part is most likely designed only to find arguments in the favor of a said relationship and not assess real genetic compatibility.
Undoubtedly Eugenics can help humanity to improve itself as a whole by improving the future generations of each individual race and subrace, can help to eradicate genetic diseases, increasing general health and well-being, empowering morals and ethics. It is only when humanity will realize this reality that is hard-coded in our DNA that such positive and beneficial changes can occur on a global scale.
