| 达尔文对表兄弟弗朗西斯·高尔顿Francis Galton在1865年提出的论点深感兴趣,弗朗西斯认为,通过遗传的统计分析,可以表明道德和精神上的人类特征可以被继承,并且动物繁殖的原理也可以适用于人类。达尔文在《人类的由来》中指出,帮助弱者生存并使之拥有家庭,可能会失去自然选择带来的好处,但他又警告说,拒绝提供援助将磨灭人类同情的本性,即“我们本性中最崇高的部分”,他认为诸如教育之类的因素可能更为重要。当高尔顿建议发表其研究成果以鼓励“有天赋的人”之间通婚时,达尔文预见了实际的困难,这是“唯一可行的方案,但我担心的是乌托邦式的,改善人类进程的计划会因此产生”。他宁愿简单地宣传继承的重要性,而将决定权留给个人。弗朗西斯·高尔顿在1883年将这一研究领域命名为“优生学”。达尔文去世后,他的理论被引用来促进优生政策。 | | 达尔文对表兄弟弗朗西斯·高尔顿Francis Galton在1865年提出的论点深感兴趣,弗朗西斯认为,通过遗传的统计分析,可以表明道德和精神上的人类特征可以被继承,并且动物繁殖的原理也可以适用于人类。达尔文在《人类的由来》中指出,帮助弱者生存并使之拥有家庭,可能会失去自然选择带来的好处,但他又警告说,拒绝提供援助将磨灭人类同情的本性,即“我们本性中最崇高的部分”,他认为诸如教育之类的因素可能更为重要。当高尔顿建议发表其研究成果以鼓励“有天赋的人”之间通婚时,达尔文预见了实际的困难,这是“唯一可行的方案,但我担心的是乌托邦式的,改善人类进程的计划会因此产生”。他宁愿简单地宣传继承的重要性,而将决定权留给个人。弗朗西斯·高尔顿在1883年将这一研究领域命名为“优生学”。达尔文去世后,他的理论被引用来促进优生政策。 |

De Simone: "Gilman shared many basic educational ideas with the generation of thinkers who matured during the period of "intellectual chaos" caused by Darwin's Origin of the Species. Marked by the belief that individuals can direct human and social evolution, many progressives came to view education as the panacea for advancing social progress and for solving such problems as urbanisation, poverty, or immigration."

− | Soon after the ''Origin'' was published in 1859, critics derided his description of a struggle for existence as a Malthusian justification for the English industrial capitalism of the time. The term ''Darwinism'' was used for the evolutionary ideas of others, including Spencer's "[[survival of the fittest]]" as free-market progress, and [[Ernst Haeckel]]'s [[polygenism|polygenistic]] ideas of [[Ernst Haeckel#Polygenism and racial theory|human development]]. Writers used natural selection to argue for various, often contradictory, ideologies such as laissez-faire dog-eat-dog capitalism, [[colonialism]] and [[New Imperialism|imperialism]]. However, Darwin's holistic view of nature included "dependence of one being on another"; thus [[pacifism|pacifists]], socialists, liberal social reformers and anarchists such as [[Peter Kropotkin]] stressed the value of co-operation over struggle within a species.<ref>{{Harvnb|Paul|2003|pp=223–225}}</ref> Darwin himself insisted that social policy should not simply be guided by concepts of struggle and selection in nature.<ref>{{Harvnb|Bannister|1989}}</ref>

− | After the 1880s, a eugenics movement developed on ideas of biological inheritance, and for scientific justification of their ideas appealed to some concepts of Darwinism. In Britain, most shared Darwin's cautious views on voluntary improvement and sought to encourage those with good traits in "positive eugenics". During the "Eclipse of Darwinism", a scientific foundation for eugenics was provided by [[Mendelian inheritance|Mendelian]] [[genetics]]. Negative eugenics to remove the "feebleminded" were popular in America, Canada and Australia, and [[eugenics in the United States]] introduced [[compulsory sterilisation]] laws, followed by several other countries. Subsequently, [[Nazi eugenics]] brought the field into disrepute.{{Ref label|H|VIII|2}}

− | . Geneticists studied human heredity as Mendelian inheritance, while eugenics movements sought to manage society, with a focus on social class in the United Kingdom, and on disability and ethnicity in the United States, leading to geneticists seeing this as impractical pseudoscience. A shift from voluntary arrangements to "negative" eugenics included compulsory sterilisation laws in the United States, copied by Nazi Germany as the basis for Nazi eugenics based on virulent racism and "racial hygiene".<br />({{Cite news| url =http://www.genetics.org/cgi/content/full/154/4/1419#The_Eclipse_of_Darwinism| title =The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection

David Quammen writes of his "theory that [Darwin] turned to these arcane botanical studies – producing more than one book that was solidly empirical, discreetly evolutionary, yet a "horrid bore" – at least partly so that the clamorous controversialists, fighting about apes and angels and souls, would leave him... alone."
