It only took a week or two after my posts on
evolution and racism and
evolution and gender to see
eugenics pop up in the news. As you can see from this article, the problem of eugenics is real and it is still present. Thus, the fact that eugenics derives from an evolutionary framework to understanding race underscores the point that the concept of "evolution" must be treated with care. Science must not be viewed as a neutral enterprise.
