Eugenics and Man at Yale - Arnold Kling --- econlog.econlib.org
The constant denunciations of eugenicists that we've been reading for the last 35 years or so are largely a form of retroactive ethnic struggle for moral status. Eugenics was an offshoot of the greatest intellectual triumph of British empiricism, Darwinism, and thus was highly popular among secular Anglo-American scientists and intellectuals. Enthusiasm for eugenics (i.e., interest in possibilities of applied Darwinism) motivated many of the major breakthroughs in statistics (Galton, Pearson, Fisher), genetics (Fisher, Wright), psychometrics (Spearman, Lewis Terman), and evolutionary theory (Hamilton, to name a very few). Heck, the two main fathers of Silicon Valley (Fred Terman and Shockley) were outspoken eugenics advocates.
As WASPs have lost power in the intellectual world over the last generation, their forefathers have gotten kicked around via the rewriting of history. Academia is, after all, a Darwinian struggle for prestige, and the losers have to expect to suffer the consequences.
