| 例句 | But unlike Galton, Muller began to realize that positive eugenics was achievable only in a society that had already achieved radical equality. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton’s talk might not have generated the effusive endorsement that he had expected—he later groused that his audience was “living forty years ago”—but he had obviously touched a raw nerve. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Frustrated, Galton switched to the study of humans. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Henry Maudsley, the psychiatrist, launched the first attack, questioning Galton’s assumptions about heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton’s remarks were brief—but the crowd had already grown restless. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Like Fleeming Jenkin, Galton quickly realized that his cousin had got the principle right, but not the mechanism: the nature of inheritance was crucial to the understanding of Darwin's theory. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton knew that no ordinary measuring devices existed for any of these characteristics. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Wells agreed with Galton’s impulses to manipulate heredity as a means to create a “fitter society.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Twin studies had originated in Francis Galton’s work in the 1890s. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The political empowerment of the working class, Galton believed, would just provoke their genetic empowerment: they would produce bushels of children, dominate the gene pool, and drag the nation toward profound mediocrity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To his great relief, Galton found that his law could accurately predict the coat colors of every generation. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton’s idea was simple: he would mimic the mechanism of natural selection. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z He bred mice by the thousands, hoping to prove Galton right. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton was inspired by Quetelet’s measurements and ventured deeper into the measurement of human variance. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z On July 24, 1912, one year after Galton's death, the first International Conference on Eugenics opened at the Cecil Hotel in London. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Having coined the phrase nature versus nurture, Galton had wondered how a scientist might discern the influence of one over the other. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Cloistered in his sprawling town house on Rutland Gate, Francis Galton was oddly unstirred by the “stirring times.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For Galton, the continuous reproduction of softheaded women and men posed a grave genetic threat to the nation. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But as Galton’s hypothesis about “ancestral inheritance” had been dismantled, piece by piece, by Bateson and de Vries, Galton had taken a sharp turn from a descriptive impulse to a prescriptive one. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the summer of 1844, while Charles Darwin was writing his first essay on evolution, Galton left England to travel to Egypt and Sudan—the first of many trips he would take to Africa. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton must have realized the inherent limits of his pedigree project, for he soon abandoned it for a more powerful empirical approach. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Eugenicists such as Galton had hoped to select complex phenotypes—intelligence, height, beauty, and moral rectitude—as a biological shortcut to enrich genes for intelligence, height, beauty, and morality. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton tried transfusing rabbits with the blood of other rabbits to transmit the gemmules. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The “province of knowledge” that Galton felt particularly inclined to explore was heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton called this the Ancestral Law of Heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton considered the obvious possibility that eminent men might produce eminent sons because the son “will be placed in a more favorable position for advancement.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For Galton, the inadequacy may have felt particularly galling because he too had been meant to become a giant. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The physical and mental characteristics that had so entranced Galton—height, weight, beauty, intelligence—were merely the outer shadows of genetic characteristics lurking underneath. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If “cousin Darwin” had solved half the puzzle, then “cousin Galton” was destined to crack the other. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the late 1880s, Galton boldly synthesized all his observations into his most mature hypothesis on heredity. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Armed with real numbers, Galton could now find the elusive “law of heredity” that he had hunted so ardently for decades. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton knew that the crowning achievement of the law would be its ability to accurately predict a real pattern of inheritance. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton coined the memorable phrase nature versus nurture to discriminate hereditary and environmental influences. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton swallowed his pride and did not attempt another genealogical study. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Like Galton and Pearson, Muller sympathized with the desire to use genetics to alleviate suffering. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the last years of his life, Galton wrestled with the idea of negative eugenics. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton was not the first to attempt to model human heredity by measuring variation in humans. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z “What nature does blindly, slowly and ruthlessly, man may do providently, quickly, and kindly. As it lies within his power, so it becomes his duty to work in that direction,” Galton wrote. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton may have derided the “microscope” of experimental geneticists, but the tool was far more powerful than Galton had presumed, for it could penetrate the outer shell of heredity into the mechanism itself. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The measurement of variance and heredity in humans, Galton reasoned, should unlock the secret. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If nature could achieve such remarkable effects on animal populations through survival and selection, Galton imagined accelerating the process of refining humans via human intervention. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z As Galton imagined it, a record of the best traits in the best families could be maintained by society—generating a human studbook, of sorts. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z As Muller thought about the future of eugenics and the possibility of altering human genomes, he wondered whether Galton and his collaborators had made a fundamental conceptual error. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To achieve this, Galton proposed to selectively breed the strong. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z The selective breeding of the strongest, smartest, “fittest” humans—unnatural selection—Galton imagined, could achieve over just a few decades what nature had been attempting for eons. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z It would be Galton’s most important contribution to statistics. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To which conditions was Francis Galton referring, when he spoke of those other species as “destined to perpetual wildness”? The answer follows from the Anna Karenina principle. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z Thomas Hobbes had worried about a state of nature that was “poor, nasty, brutish and short”; Galton was concerned about a future state overrun by genetic inferiors: poor, nasty, British—and short. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Eugenics was merely an applied form of genetics for Galton, just as agriculture was an applied form of botany. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z For Galton, the word eugenics was an opportune fit—“at least a neater word...than viriculture, which I once ventured to use.” The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton was born in the winter of 1822—the same year as Gregor Mendel—and thirteen years after his cousin Charles Darwin. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton may have despised the great unwashed masses, but they were, indisputably, great and unwashed English masses. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton had been unable to discover genes, but he would not miss out on the creation of genetic technologies. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z To marshal further evidence, Galton began to reconstruct pedigrees of eminent men. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton had proposed using physical and mental traits—human phenotype—to select the best specimens for breeding. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton had already coined a name for this effort—eugenics, the betterment of the human race via artificial selection of genetic traits and directed breeding of human carriers. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Maudsley had studied mental illness among families and concluded that the patterns of inheritance were vastly more complex than the ones Galton had proposed. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Galton published much of this data in an ambitious, rambling, often incoherent book—Hereditary Genius. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z If an accomplished man had a son, Galton estimated, chances were one in twelve that the son would be eminent. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z In the spring of 1904, Galton presented his argument for eugenics at a public lecture at the London School of Economics. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z As biologists rushed to embrace Mendel’s laws and grapple with their consequences, Galton adopted a rather benign indifference to them. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z A child prodigy, Galton learned to read at two, was fluent in Greek and Latin by five, and solved quadratic equations by eight. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z But to Galton and Simpson's disappointment, Hancock rejected it, asking for something "more international".

Civics: as Applied Sociology So far Mr. Galton would go, but mark what follows! The Book of Dreams and Ghosts "Eugenics," wrote Francis Galton, who founded the science and coined the name, "is the study of agencies under social control that may improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations, either physically or mentally."
