Heredity And Social Progress (1903)

by Simon Nelson Patten

Book Overview

Heredity and Social Progress is a book written by Simon Nelson Patten in 1903. The book explores the relationship between heredity and social progress, arguing that genetics play a crucial role in determining the success of societies. Patten examines the impact of heredity on various aspects of society, including economics, politics, and culture. He argues that social progress can only be achieved by understanding and harnessing the power of genetics. The book also explores the implications of eugenics, a controversial theory that advocates for the improvement of the human race through selective breeding. Patten's work was influential in shaping the early discussions around eugenics and the role of genetics in society. Despite its controversial subject matter, Heredity and Social Progress remains an important work in the history of social science and genetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
