'''Eugenicism''' also called '''Social Darwinism''' and '''Galtonianism''' is a political ideology which seeks to shape public policy in accordance with the field of eugenics. Eugenics being the now discredited field of science (pseudoscience) which claims to be the 'study of good genes'. Eugenics takes influence from the Darwinian theory of evolution, which states that organisms develop to better suit a given environment through the gradual dying of organisms that are unsuited to the environment before they can reproduce and applies them to Humans; this is done by selecting traits which are 'desirable' and artificially adjusting the environment to either maximise the reproduction of those with those traits (positive eugenics) or minimising the reproduction of those with undesirable traits (negative eugenics). |
