question by a leading American Anthropologist. Stresses that the biological differences in the modern races are

superficial, and that the differences are usually greater within a race than between a race. Concludes that “the Bible

story of Adam and Eve, father and mother of the whole human race, told centuries ago the same truth that science

has shown today; that all peoples on the earth are a single family and have a common origin.”

on a variety of unpublished materials as well as the author’s interviews with some of the scientists involved in

German eugenics movement.

Black, Edwin. War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race. New York:

Four Walls Eight Windows, 2003, 550 pp. An important work that analyzes the influence of eugenics in both

Germany and USA, showing that they had much in common, including the major influence of Darwinism.

Boyd, William C. Genetics and the Races of Man. Boston, MA: Little Brown and Company, 1953, 453 pp. The

author attempts to base anthropology on genetics instead of bone measurements, skull configuration and other racial

physical characteristics. Covers the work of modern geneticists and its relationship to humans. Much discussion of

the “blood-group race,” concept, and endeavors to refute some of the ideas popularized by social Darwinists.

Bradley, Michael. The Iceman Inheritance: Prehistoric Sources of Western Man’s Racism, Sexism and Aggression.

New York, NY: Kayode Publications Ltd., 1991. Argues that the white race is more aggressive, racist and sexist

than other races due to Darwinian mechanisms of selection. This book has been called racist by its critics.

Brantlinger, Patrick. Dark Vanishing: Discourse on the Extinction of Primitive Races, 1800-1930. Ithaca, NY:

Cornell University, 2003, 248 pp. Documents the thesis that the Darwinian beliefs inevitably results in extinction for

inferior groups played a key role in the actual extermination of racial groups. This view also reduced the guilt for the

event that it was believed would happen sooner or later as Darwin predicted in his The Descent of Man, p. 190,

where he wrote that inferior humans would eventually be eliminated by the survival of the fittest law.

Bruinius, Harry. Better for All the World: The Secret History of Forced Sterilization and America’s Quest for

Racial Purity. New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2006, 401 pp. The history of eugenics in America and the critical

influence of Darwinism that resulted in the forced sterilization of 65,000 Americans, many of which were fully

normal. The practice of negative eugenics was sanctioned by the supreme court in Buck vs. Bell ruling in an 8 to 1

decision.

Burleigh, Michael and Wolfgang Wippermann. The Racial State: Germany 1933-1945. Cambridge University

Press, 386 pp. Covers the Nazi racial policy from 1933-1945 and its tragic results. Notes that, unlike the racist

writers before Darwin such as Gobineau, Darwin’s work “enjoyed massive success after its appearance in 1859” (p.

28).

Bytwerk, Randall L. Julius Strieicher; The Man Who Persuaded a Nation to Hate Jews. New York, NY: Dorset

Press, 1983, 236 pp. Covers the techniques used to cause a civilized nation to murder six million Jews, focusing on

the biological theories of eugenics that Strieicher accepted and taught in order to carry out his campaign against

Jews. Shows that the source of many of the beliefs related to racism and inferior and superior groups comes from

social Darwinism.

Campbell, Byram. Race and Social Revolution; Twenty-One Essays on Race and Social Problems. New York, NY:

The Truth Seeker Company, 1958, 264 pp. An atheist racist argument that discusses race, eugenics, and related

issues, concluding that the white race ideology represents an “ideal race” with worldwide appeal. Concludes that

until the dark races change their attitude, there can be no real improvement of the conflicts between the races.

Covers race and mongrelization, the brain and intelligence, race, character and temperament, the impact of the

monists (by monist he means a soft, tender minded, over concern about other people), concluding that the monists

view of “oneness” of the races is a narcotic and that their faith in their monistic belief allows the belief to become

their master, and from then on they do not think independently, but use their reason to search for dogmas that will

more tightly mesh with their delusions.

______. American Race Theorists; A Critique of Their Thoughts and Methods. San Diego, CA: The Truth Seeker,

159 pp. Attempts to refute the arguments of those who believe in racial equality, specifically evaluating the work of

Croeber, Hooton, Gillin, Pierson, and others. Examines many of the empirical studies that indicate either racial

equality, or racial inequality, based on cultural factors or differences due to prejudice.

Press, 2001, 451 pp. An extensive well documented review of the eugenics movement from Darwin to his cousin

Galton to the American and Nazi German applications of eugenic ideas.

Castle, William Ernest, John Merle Coulter, Charles Benedict Davenport, Edward Murray East, and William

Lawrence Tower. Heredity and Eugenics. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press, 1913, 315 pp. An important

early text openly advocating eugenics. Davenport was one of the major scientists behind both the American and

Nazi eugenics movements.

Chase, Allan. Legacy of Malthus; The Social Costs of a New Scientific Racism. New York, NY: Alfred A Knopf,

1980, 700 pp. One of the most comprehensive accounts of scientific racism, specifically related to the eugenics

movement and the work of Galton, Darwin, Davenport and others. Shows how the eugenics movement influenced

both many western political movements as well as legislation, adversely affecting a large number of persons, both in

this country and in Europe. A hard hitting, no-holds-barred approach to the eugenics movement.

Comas, Juan. Racial Myths. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press Publishers, 1951, reprinted in 1976 by Greenwood

Press, 51 pp. A discussion of race prepared for the United Nations, specifically focusing on the myth of Aryan or

Nordic superiority and the biological theories of genetics and eugenics as well as the cultural background that

supported such ideas. Also covers other racial conflicts, such as those involving Blacks, and various other historical

racial conflicts.

Conklin, Edwin Grant. Heredity and Environment. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1920, 361 pp. An

extensive discussion of genetics and heredity as it relates to the evolution of humans. Much of this work deals with

eugenics, and the possible methods that eugenic scientists believed, when the book was written, that could be used to

facilitate the evolution of humans.

______. The Direction of Human Evolution. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1922, 247 pp. A review of the

evidence for natural selection of humans, the scientific basis for the inequality of humans, and similar topics.

Coon, Carlton S. The Origin of the Races. New York: Knopf, 1962, 745 pp. Argues that the races, like the species

to which they belong, are evolving as a group and that much of the evolution of the existing races took place

separately in parallel fashion over a period of hundreds of thousands of years. Coon concludes “After examining

every scrap of evidence on fossil man,” that five separate lines of human descent exist, each a race and each as old

as humankind itself. The orthodox opinion is that the races of humans became differentiated only very recently, in

the last few tens of thousands of years, after the appearance of Homo sapiens. Coon claims to have uncovered clear

evidence that they separated far earlier, at least as early as the time the first man, Homo erectus, lived.

______. Racial Adaptation; A Study of the Origins, Nature and Significance of Racial Variations in Humans.

Chicago, IL: Nelson-Hall, 1982, 197 pp. One of the more definitive works on the biology of race and the

evolutionary origins of race by one of the most controversial modern scientists who has researched and published in

the area of race for much of his career.

______. Adventures and Discoveries; The Autobiography of Carlton S. Coon; Anthropologist and Explorer.

Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1981, 404 pp. Coon, at the time of his death, was a research associate in

improvement of the human race (eugenics). Concludes that certain racial mixtures, such as the Chinese-Hawaiian

mix, produce superior progeny, but the Negro-White and the Filapino-European crosses produce a racial type “that

should be avoided.” Stresses the importance of “good breeding” and that society has a responsibility to prevent the

propagation of bodily defects, mental diseases, and moral degeneracy that is inherited.

Cravens, Hamilton. The Triumph of Evolution; American Scientists and the Heredity-Environment Controversy

1900-1941. PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1978, 351 pp. Shows that the influence of evolutionary ideas has

been as pervasive since the collapse of social Darwinism as before. Covers the emergence of the new generation of

evolutionists who were professional scientists in colleges and universities, and the views that they developed, the

theory of the interaction of heredity and the environment in the formation of humankind’s nature and culture.

Concludes that this synthesis includes the idea that a science of humankind can explain and predict behavior, and

cause desirable changes in the future is now possible, thus holding out the intoxicating promise of a high level of

social control over humans. Stresses the important implications of evolutionary belief in this period of American

history for race, eugenics, mental measurement, testing, psychology of learning and related fields.

Crook, Paul D. Benjamin Kidd; Portrait of a Social Darwinist. London: Cambridge, 1984, 460 pp. Focuses on

Kidd’s ideas found in his writings from his most famous work, Social Evolution (1894) to his latest book titled

Science of Power finished shortly before his death in 1916. Shows that while Kidd was an individualistic social

Darwinist, he eventually renounced many of the major aspects both of Darwinism and Imperialism. Kidd’s books

and journalistic works once had an extraordinary influence on society; he helped to found the British Sociological

Society in the mid-1900s, and became an important leader in several so-called progressive social movements.

____. Darwinism War and History. New York, NY: Cambridge University Press. 1994. 306 pp. Evaluates the

influence of Darwinism on war and racist imperialism. Crook also reconstructs the influence of Darwin’s disciples

on various views of war.

Crookshank, F.G. The Mongrel in Our Midst; A Study of Man and His Three Faces. New York, NY; E.P. Dutton,

1924, 124 pp.; 2nd edition 1925; and extensively revised and enlarged in 1931, London: Kegan Paul, 540 pp.

Crookshank argues for the view that the three human races evolved from three different primates: the white race

evolved from chimpanzees, the Black race from gorillas, and the yellow race from orangutans. Crookshank utilizes

evidence from a wide variety of areas to support this contention. Also, much material in the 3rd edition is on the

cause of mongoloidism which Crookshank considered, in part, an atavism, a throwback to our evolutionary

ancestors. This book is an example of how much evidence can be stacked up to support a thesis that is totally

invalid. The author has an M.D. degree and was a fellow of the Royal College.

Darwin, Charles Galton. The Next Million Years. Garden City, NY: Doubleday and Company, Inc. 1953, 210 pp.

The author is a grandson of Charles Darwin, named after Sir Francis Galton (who was his godfather and the man

who coined the word eugenic which means “good genes” and spearheaded the now infamous eugenic movement in

science). In this work, the author speculates about the future of humankind specifically as related to social and

biological conditions. He concludes that humans are wild animals “just like any other species of animal” (p. 115)

which fortunately has been tamed by civilization, a process that he calls “pseudo-domestication.” Many of his

speculations relative to biological evolution are useful today only for their historical interest.

Degler, Carl N. In Search of Human Nature; Decline and Revival of Darwinism in American Social Thought. New

York: Oxford University Press, 1991, 400 pp. An historian who has written much on race, Degler reviews both the

history and impact of Darwinism on our understanding of human nature. The implications of Darwinism on racism,

sexism and the social Darwinism movement are discussed in detail. Also covered are racism in intelligence testing,

the practice of involuntary and forced sterilization, the eugenics movement, speculation relating to the heredity

cause of crime, the rise of Nazi Germany, and other movements that relied on Darwinism. The author focuses on

the forces behind the Darwinist movement, concluding that ideological reasons, not new biological data, led to an

alteration of the Darwinist interpretation of biology.

deGobineau, Count Arthur (translated by Adrian Collins). The Inequality of the Races. Los Angeles, CA: The

Noontide Press, 1966, 218 pp. A translation of the original 1853 French edition of this classic work used by social

Darwinists, Adolf Hitler, and others to support their views that certain races were more intelligent and more

biologically advanced, and that certain races can be improved through artificial selection and various eugenic

policies. This is one of the most infamous of the early “scientific” books on race.

Deichmann, Ute (translated by Thomas Dunlap). Biologists Under Hitler. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard

University Press, 1996, 468 pp. A history of the effects of Nazism on the lives and research of the biologists in Nazi

Germany. Shows that the biological sciences, especially genetics, were handsomely supported under the Nazis and

that many, if not most, biologists supported Hitler’s eugenic goals in various degrees, many very actively.

Documents the fact that many internationally well known biologists also actively supported the Nazi goals. For

example, Nobel Laureate Konrad Lorenz worked to achieve the “elimination” of “genetically inferior people” as did

H.B.S. Haldane (p. 323).

Dowbiggin, Ian Robert. Keeping America Sane: Psychiatry and Eugenics in the United States and Canada, 1880-

1940. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1997, 245 pp. Details both the passive and active involvement and open

support of psychiatry in favor of using eugenics to improve the world. Shows that Darwinism was very influential in

the major direction that psychology took during the last century.

Duncan, Hannibal Gerald. Race and Population Problems. New York, NY: Longman’s Green and Company,

1929, 424 pp. Covers a wide variety of topics relative to evolution, including the origin of mankind and the

formation of, and modern means of, classifying the human races. Much discussion of biology and race problems,

heredity and eugenics, the problem of inferiority and superiority of races, and the amalgamation of the races. Also

covers the dysgenic effects of wars and religion on the human population, and premalthusian and Malthusian

theories of population. A good review of a wide variety of material related to the once popular views on eugenics,

race, and population concerns among scientists and others.

Dunn, L.C. Heredity and Evolution in Human Populations. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1959, 157

pp. Covers the principle of heredity as applied to human populations, specifically focusing on genes, and evolution

and how these fields help us to understand the evolution of the different races. Also, covers various other related

topics, such as isolated populations, the influence of natural selection, and the eugenics movement.

______. and Theodosius Dobzhansky. Heredity, Race and Society; A Scientific Explanation of Human Differences.

New York, NY: The New American Library, 1946 (16th printing, October, 1964), 144 pp. Discusses various fads

and theories about heredity, and the roles of genes, environment, geography and culture (and their

interrelationships). The author focuses on eugenics and the problems and ramifications of combining the races to

produce the infinite variety of peoples that makes up the human race. A major theme is that humans are a product of

evolution, and the use of evolutionary data are necessary in understanding race differences.

Ehrenreich, Eric. The Nazi Ancestral Proof: Genealogy, Racial Science, and the Final Solution. Bloomington, IN:

Indiana University Press, 2007, 234 pp. D A detailed discussion of the use of orthodox science to establish eugenics

as a state policy. Notes that Germany was scientifically the most advanced nation in the world and scientists were

the major backbone behind the racial state that existed during the Nazi rule.

Ellingson, Ter. The Myth of the Noble Savage. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2001, 445 pp. A study

and analysis of the Noble Savage Myth invented by Rousseau in the mid-eighteenth century. Follows the career of

anthropologists John Crawford and his racist agenda in some detail in order to explain the events of this myth in

history.

Engs, Ruth Clifford. The Eugenics Movement: An Encyclopedia. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press. 2005. 280 pp.

A well-illustrated detailed encyclopedia of the American eugenics movement and the many scientists involved in the

movement. Engs is professor of applied health science at Indiana State University.

Evola, Julius. Race As a Revolutionary Idea. Arab, LA: Western Unity Research Institute, 25 pp. (n.d.). Concludes

that the race doctrine is anti-historical and anti-evolutionist because racism is based on early civilizations in which

racial mixing had not reached the point that it has today. Today we have, due to race mixing, a much more

heterogeneous, race mixed human form.

Eysenck, H.J. and Leon Kamin. The Intelligence Controversy; Environment or Heredity? New York, NY: John

Wiley and Sons, 1981, 192 pp. A series of writings by the foremost spokesperson’s on each side of the question of

the influence of genetics on human intelligence. Eysenck insists that the root of IQ differences are genetic, Kamin

that environmental factors play the crucial role. Much discussion on the influence of evolution, eugenics as well as

other topics related to the eugenics movement such as race, and the nature/nurture controversy as a whole.

Firth, Raymond. Human Types. New York, NY: New American Library, 1958, 176 pp. A discussion of the

various similarities and differences in the human races and the implications thereof. Evolution, eugenics and the

significance of alleged differences in I.Q. in the races, and the alleged biological basis of these differences are all

covered in detail.

Fleure, H.J. The Races of Mankind. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran and Company, 1928, 78 pp. An unusual

book for 1928 that argued, correctly we now know, that more differences exist within any one race then between any

two races and that race is primarily a sociological, not a biological concept.

Galton, Francis. Hereditary Genius. New York: Macmillan, 1892, 379 pp. This important work, which is still in

print, was and is a major foundation of the modern eugenics movement. Galton tried to prove talent is heredity and

not due to the environment. It is for this reason why social programs designed to lift the poor up from their situation

are very limited in what they can achieve.

______. Hereditary Genius. Gloucester, MA: the World Publishing Company, 1972, 446 pp. Introduction by C.D.

Darlington. This work, first published in 1869, is one of the first books published defending Darwinian eugenics.

Garn, Stanley M. Human Races. Springfield, IL: Charles C. Thomas Publishers, 1961, 137 pp. A discussion of the

biological concept of race, both from a historical, and biological evolution standpoint. Covers much material related

to the eugenics movement and the biology of race differences. Also covers such topics as blood groups and race,

natural selection and race, the results of race mixtures, race and disease, and related.

Gasman, Daniel. The Scientific Origins of National Socialism. New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 2004, 208

pp. A study of the major influence of Darwinism on, not only Nazism, but fascism as well, especially Haeckel’s

“scientific” Darwinism and his movement in Germany.

Gillham, Nicholas Wright. A Life of Sir Francis Galton: From African Exploration to the Birth of Eugenics. New

York: Oxford University Press, 2001, 416 pp. An excellent study of Galton showing the importance of his cousin’s

(Charles Darwin) theory on the development of eugenics and social Darwinism.

Goldsby, Richard A. Race and Races. New York, NY: Macmillan Company, 1971, 132 pp. The author, a

professor of biology at Yale, covers the biological, evolutionary, and cultural factors related to the study of the

origins of the human races. Shows that an enormous amount of variety exists within any species, and that much of

this is biologically irrelevant but, in the case of humans, is culturally important. Also discusses biological racial

indicators, race and natural selection, as well as the background of the history the influence of evolution on race

views.

Graham, Robert Klark. The Future of Man. Escondido, CA: Foundation for the Advancement of Man, 1981, 101

pp. An attempt to apply passive eugenics to modern society by selective reproduction. Shows that eugenics is still

alive and well in America.

Graves, Joseph. The Emperor’s New Clothes. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2001, 253 pp.

Concludes that separate human races do not exist as a biological entity, and racism is actually an ideology. Covers

the scientific problems with eugenics in detail.

Guyer, Michael F. Being Well-Born; An Introduction to Heredity and Eugenics. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill

Page 7: A Select Few Annotated References on Darwin's Influence on ... · German eugenics movement. Black, Edwin. War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master

7

Company, 1927, 490 pp. A genetics text that argues in favor of eugenics based on the science of Darwinism. Argues

that the environment is often less important then genetics (p. 365, for example). An example is, he argues that most

delinquents and other socially maladaptive persons were born mentally deficient.

Hall, E. Raymond. Zoological Subspecies of Man. New York, NY: International Association of the Advancement

of Ethnology and Eugenics, 7 pp. Hall classifies all humans into five subspecies, the Caucasians, American Indian,

Mongolian, Negro, and Australian Blacks, concluding that human races are a product of evolution and directly relate

to their survival differences that were selected by natural selection.

Haller, John S. Outcasts From Evolution; Scientific Attitudes of Racial Inferiority 1859-1900. Chicago, IL:

University of Illinois Press, 1971, 228 pp. Concludes that the racial inferiority of blacks view was fully accepted by

scientists in the 19th century not only in biology, but also medicine, anthropology, and other sciences. These

sciences became instruments used to try to “verify” evolutionary theories of racism and race extinction, which

helped to rationalize governmental politics of disenfranchisement and segregation. Extensively discusses the social

Darwinists and their contribution to biological race inferiority theories.

Haller, Mark H. Eugenics; Hereditarian Attitudes in American Thought. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University

Press, 1963, 264 pp. The first comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the eugenics movement in the United

States. Extensively covers the influence of contemporary social attitudes on eugenics, Darwinian evolution, and

scientific research of the time in eugenics and its contribution to the eugenics movement.

Hannaford, Ivan. Race: The History of an Idea in the West. Washington, D.C.: Woodrow Wilson Center

Press/Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996, 448 pp. Foreword by Bernard Crick. Shows race is

not a universal idea, not even in the West. Concludes that the first traces of the modern concept of race was in the

proto-sciences of the late medieval period but that the modern notion of race became popular only in the 19th and

20th centuries. Also documents the critical influence Darwinism had on racism, especially his idea of natural and

social selection (p. 274).

Hasskarl, G. H. The Missing Link; or the Negroes Ethnological Status. Chambersburg, PA: The Democratic News,

1898, 153 pp. An interesting in-depth discussion of the various views on the biological and social “place” of

Negroes in the human race. Among the views considered are that Negroes were not part of the Ademic race, but a

separate creation by God, and thus are not human, but an undesirable type of animal, or they are the sons of Shem,

thus inferior.

Hawkins, Mike. Social Darwinism in European and American Thought, 1860-1945—Nature as a Model and

Nature as Threat. New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 1998, 344 pp. A new study focusing on the effects

of Social Darwinism and the role that Darwin, Lamarck and Herbert Spencer played in the Social Darwinism

movement. Shows Social Darwinism contributed not only to socialism, but also to anarchism and even anti-

democracy movements, and that Social Darwinism underpinned the Nazi war policies (p. 272).

Haycraft, John Barry. Darwinism and Race Progress. London: Swan Sonnenschein, 1895, 180 pp. Discusses the

influence of Darwinism on the progress of the races to achieve human rights in the United States and the world.

Covers Lamarck’s views on heredity, Darwin’s law of natural selection, and the work of Galton, and Weismann on

eugenics. Often argues in favor of social Darwinism, yet is often critical of many of the ideas advocated by this

school of thought.

Hazlewood, Nick. Savage: The Life and Times of Jemmy Button. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 2000, 384 pp. The

tragic story of the massacre of the Fuegians, focusing on Jemmy Button who lived for a time in England in order to

become “civilized.” The plan was then for him to go back home to again live with his people and civilize them as

well. It turned out that once home, instead of civilizing his people he went back to his “primitive” way of life and

thought. The experiment had a major influence on Darwin’s work and ideas about “primitive” people.

Hofstadter, Richard. Social Darwinism in American Thought. Boston, MA: Bacon Press, 1944, reprinted in 1955,

Darwinism movement, specifically in America. This book is one of the more authoritative histories of both social

Darwinism, and its opposition in America. Also covers the work of Lester Ward, William Sumner, Herbert Spencer

and other prominent intellectuals and professors involved in leading the social Darwin movement.

Hooton, Earnest Albert. Apes, Men, and Morons. NY: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1937, 308 pp. Hooton was professor of

anthropology at Harvard University and curator of Peabody museum, Harvard University. This work is on the

evolution of the races and an examination of the fossil evidence, including, especially, teeth and bone.

______. Twilight of Man. New York, NY: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1939, 308 pp. Concludes that man made himself

out of an ape by the use of tools, and that a reappraisal of the human species is necessary to understand, especially,

the physical changes that have taken place in the last few generations of Americans. Stresses that maintenance of

organic fitness and a high level of individual intelligence is necessary for our society to survive. Much discussion of

full-blooded marriages versus mixed marriages involving Jews and Blacks; stresses the importance of eugenic

principles in dealing with these problems.

______. Why Men Behave Like Apes and Vice Versa or Body and Behavior. Princeton: Princeton University Press,

1941, 234 pp. One of the many works by social Darwinist Hooton that concludes that our civilization has been

“seduced” into preserving its misfits, and in giving humanitarian aid that will, in essence, eventually result in the

ruin of humankind. Stresses that we must clear the road for the biologically fit and that only by applying Darwinian

type of natural selection, i.e., the science of eugenics, can we deal with some of the many social problems that now

plague society. Hooton, a full professor of anthropology at Harvard, was a colorful leader of the eugenics

movement in America for many years.

______. Man’s Poor Relations. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran, and Company, 1942, 412 pp. A text on the

higher primates, especially those that resemble humans, showing their close relationships with humans and, he

concludes, documents that humans evolved from lower primates.

______. Young Man, You are Normal. New York: Putnam, 1945, 210 pp. A review of the research on “normal”

humans or, in Holton’s words, “young male animals of the human species.” The data used for the study was a

sample of 268 Harvard undergraduates collected during six years.

______. Up From the Ape. New York, NY: Macmillan Company Revised Ed., 1960 (original edition, 1946) 788

pp. A review of the evidence for evolution which includes a large amount of speculation. The work is useful today

because it is openly racist, concluding that the different races have evolved to different levels of intelligence and

higher traits. Much discussion of racism in society, and the origins of races, concluding that both the African Negro

and the White evolved from the Eoanthropus, whereas the Australian race evolved from Pithecanthropus. Many of

the widely accepted racist stereotypes of the 1930s and 1940s are vividly reflected in this work. The work contains

an enormous amount of information and is very useful as a summary of a wide variety of studies completed in the

early 1900s.

Hutton, Christopher M. Race and the Third Reich. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press, 2005, 272 pp. A in-depth study of

the academic study of race and how the academic research supported the Nazi race state.

Jacquerd, Albert. In Praise of Difference; Genetics and Human Affairs. New York, NY: Columbia University

Press, 1984, 187 pp. The author, a demographer and population geneticist in Paris, endeavors to explain in lay terms

the cause of the genetic diversity existing in humans and its implications for us. Focuses on the development of

populations in the human race as a whole, and eugenics, specifically the dysgenic aspects, stressing that only one

race made up of billions of individuals exists. Also discusses evolutionary theory and how it has been used to justify

racism.

______. Translated by Margaret Mariorty. Endangered by Science? New York, NY: Columbia University Press,

1985, 216 pp. This discussion of some of the problems of applying science in general to society focuses on the

misapplication of science findings to society problems. Also covers the application of biology, specifically

evolution, to society and its effects on racial prejudice, population genetics, the debates about IQ performance and

race and related topics. Concludes that beliefs as diverse as racial prejudice and the need for nuclear weapons all

were justified because they are based on science, specifically evolution. Notes that Hitler and others argued for war

in terms of the need to continue natural selection and that many racists argued that race is purely the product of

evolution and without natural selection evolution would stop. The author concludes that science is a set of ideas

developed by scientists and how it is used (and often misused) by non-scientists is the major problem. A major topic

of this work is natural selection and its use to justify racism and biological discrimination as a whole.

Jones, Greta. Social Darwinism and English Thought; The Interaction Between Biological and Social Theory. New

Jersey: The Humanities Press, 1980, 234 pp. Discusses the impact of Darwinism on English thought, especially the

relationship between social thought and social structure. A specific focus is on social Darwin ideas and the

development of British racism. Jones concludes that Darwin’s later work, The Decent of Man, in contrast to his

earlier 1859 Origin of the Species, borrowed heavily from contemporary psychological and anthropological works,

intertwining philosophical and scientific issues and their effects on political behavior.

Kelly, Alfred. The Decent of Darwin: The Popularization of Darwinism in Germany 1860-1914. Chapel Hill: The

University of North Carolina Press, 1981, 185 pp. Deals with a tremendous influence of Darwinism in German from

1860 to 1914. Concludes that it was in Germany, not in England, where Darwin’s work was first accepted.

Stressed that Darwinism was used to speed the erosion of Christian beliefs in Germany; much material on Ernest

Haeckel, who concluded that “evolution is now the major word with which we will solve all the riddles around us...”

Also explores the effect of Darwinian evolution on the development of Nazi Germany and eventually the Holocaust.

Kevles, Daniel J. In the Name of Eugenics; Genetics and the Uses of Human Heredity. New York, NY: Alfred A

Knopf Company, 1985, 426 pp. An excellent history of the practice of eugenics from its inception in the late 19th

century to its more recent manifestations in social philosophy and policy. Focuses specifically on theories of

Francis Galton and other evolutionists who developed “scientific proof” that the inferiority of certain races, as well

as mental deficiency, criminality, and all types of deviant behavior, were fundamentally hereditary in origin, thus

could be reduced by eugenics. This is one of the most detailed chronicles of the eugenics movement, beginning with

Darwin’s cousin, Francis Galton, who coined the word eugenics. The theory is traced from Galton to Carl Pearson

(who developed the science of statistics to determine the effectiveness of existing methods to produce a superior

race) to Charles Davenport. This is an excellent study of the tragedy of the naive application of evolutionary theory

to human problems, a theory that resulted in the illusion that one can identify everything from mental defectiveness,

to criminality, to all matter of deviant behavior, the influence of genes. Covers the efforts to use eugenics to create a

more perfect world that culminated in the direct application of evolution by the German government during World

War II, resulting in the Holocaust.

Kidd, Benjamin. Social Evolution. New York: Macmillan and Company, 1894, 348 pp. Although Social Evolution

was Kidd’s first book, it was an immediate and enormous success. In it Kidd developed a collectivist form of social

Darwinism in which he tried to harmonize Darwinism with the values of progressivism in the West. Much of the

work is an exposition of Kidd’s theory of society, specifically based on his theories of social Darwinism. This is

still Benjamin Kidd’s most famous work and, although some argue that this book promotes a fiercely individualistic

genetically determined white racist social Darwinism, others conclude that this interpretation is simplistic and not a

totally fair assessment of this work. Interestingly, with the onset of World War I, Kidd renounced his belief in

Darwinism and imperialism, advocating a cultural revolution and world cooperation to achieve peace and advance

social progress.

King, James C. The Biology of Race, Revised Edition. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1981, 180 pp.

social Darwinists, specifically the view that the different races have a separate evolutionary history and can be

classified in terms of advanced and less advanced evolution.

variety of topics relative to race and evolution, specifically related to Buddhism and its teachings about humankind’s

place in the universe. Stresses the spiritual unity of all mankind and the usefulness, but limitations, of various

biological theories of the origins of race.

228 pages. The will documented study reviews the large eugenics movement in Canada based on the idea that the

race could be improved by breeding better babies through the science of eugenics.

Mead, Margaret, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Ethel Tobach and Robert E. Light (ed.) Science and the Concept of

Race. New York, NY: Columbia University Press, 1968, 177 pp. Focuses on the concept of race, especially as it is

related to eugenics, inferior and superior races, and eugenics as a whole. Discusses both the biological and

sociological concepts of race, although the focus is clearly on the biological.

Montague, Ashley. Man’s Most Dangerous Myth; The Fallacy of Race. New York, NY: Harper and Brothers, Inc.,

1953, 362 pp. Originally published in 1942, this volume has become the classic work attacking the view that certain

races (specifically the American Blacks and the Semitic groups) are inherently inferior or superior to others.

Utilizes much biological data as well as empirical research that demonstrates the ethnic similarities are far stronger

than their differences. Very critical of the eugenics movement and the application of Darwinism and natural

selection to humans and especially race.

______ (ed). Race and IQ New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1975, 322 pp. Expanded edition 1999, 486

pp. This topic, first discussed in Montague Man’s Most Dangerous Myth, concludes that race is in general an

unusable concept in order to group humans. This work includes fifteen authorities covering fields primarily in

biology, genetics and anthropology, but also in psychology and education. Specifically looks at innate intelligence

as related to ethnic groups or races.

______. Sociobiology Examined. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1980, 355 pp. A series of readings

critical of sociobiology. All of the fifteen contributors challenge the conclusion that social behavior has a primary

heredity basis, concluding that, while much human behavior has a genetic basis, this is quite different than claiming

that such behavior is genetically determined.

Schocken Books, 1966, 386 pp. An extensive discussion of Nazism, focusing on science and how the Nazis based

their views of racism, and the belief that a superior race could be produced, by accepted contemporary orthodox

science. Mosse lays much of the blame for Nazism on the support that the scientific establishment of the time gave

racist ideas. This research was then utilized to help justify the Nazi’s deep seated hatred against Jews and other

races.

Germany 1933-1945. Oxford, NY: Oxford University Press, 1988, 208 pp. A study of German science and the

Holocaust, concluding that many high level academics and institutions directly supported or made major

contributions to the Nazi horrors, especially scientists and physicians. Also notes that not only Darwinism, but also

the science of human genetics, played a crucial role.

Nesturkh, M. The Races of Mankind. Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1966, 113 pp. A review of how racial traits

Stresses that the betterment of the human race can be achieved only by the application of eugenics principles as

discovered by Charles Darwin and other evolutionists. Concludes that certain races, such as Blacks, are

evolutionarily inferior, and neither culture nor society is able to bring them up to the status of Whites. Uses

comparisons with horticultural examples to illustrate the potential good fruit of eugenics.

1922, 303 pp. One of the more direct books openly advocating eugenics, Wiggam stressed that Christianity is the

opposite of evolution and that helping the weak and genetically less fit may seem charitable and proper, but in the

long-run is dysfunctional to society. Human sympathy must be linked to a higher understanding of eugenics.

Biology and the science of genetics must be applied to society to improve humankind’s long-term condition, and

inferior individuals must be saved for everything but reproduction so as to preserve the superior biological race.

Gives a number of examples of the success of eugenics, and the scientific evidence that proves this view.

the American Chemical Society, is the author of numerous books on chemistry, nutrition and vitamins. In this work,

he stresses that major differences exist in human races, especially as revealed in the study of heredity as it relates to

the problem of humanity, eugenics, and related areas. Concludes that if humans had not developed races, they

would constitute the only exception in the entire biological kingdom. Points out that speciation is the source of

evolution, and thus the importance of race variation in evolution cannot be underestimated.

Williams, Vernon J., Jr. Rethinking Race: Franz Boas and His Contemporaries. Lexington, KY: University Press

of Kentucky, 1996, 152 pp. A history of one of the few scientists whom opposed the Darwin inspired eugenics

movement. Boas was at Columbia University and faced much opposition for his stand.

Zimmerman, Andrew. Anthropology and Antihumanism in Imperial Germany. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago

Press, 2001, 364 pp. Argues that the wide acceptance of Darwinism among German anthropologists in the first

decade of the 20th century caused a critical shift in anthropology as a field and in German society as a whole (p.

214). He concludes for better or for worse German anthropologists embraced Darwinism and applied it to humans

(p. 214). He then details some of the many tragic effects of the acceptance of Darwinism. One of the more benign is

a fascination with “freaks,” or inferior humans, and “ethnographic performances” to the “racial hygienics” problem,

including “national socialism” (Nazism), which contributed to the Holocaust (pp. 46, 241-243).
