This quantity from the sequence "Studies in Biology, financial system and Society" is the continuing of the twenty fourth annual symposium of the Eugenics Society held in 1987. The papers gathered listed below are in honour of Julian Huxley, President from 1959 till 1962 of the Eugenics Society, which exists to help study into genetic and social elements of human copy so one can enhancing difficulties linked to heredity, human traits and inhabitants. Huxley's paper "Eugenics and Eugenists" seemed in 1920 and his 1962 Galton Lecture "Eugenics in Evolutionary point of view" is incorporated right here. The notice "eugenics" was once coined by way of the society's founder, Sir Francis Galton, to explain the technology of bettering human inventory and permitting the extra "suitable" features to be successful over these he thought of much less fascinating.
