Heredity in Relation to Eugenics
Heredity in Relation to Eugenics is a book by American
Carnegie Institution. The book was widely used as a text for medical schools in the United States and abroad.[2]
In its time, the book was a success and became one of the most influential books in the early-20th century eugenics movement in the United States. By the 1940s, however, the science in the book had become to generally be regarded as seriously flawed[citation needed], and the book was blamed by some for contributing to widespread eugenic sterilization programs in the United States and to the racist policies of Nazi Germany and Hitler.[3]
