The hidden science of eugenics

Article Abstract:

Hardy-Weinberg principle contradicts the conventional theory of genetic revitalization proposed by the eugenicists. The conventional theory indicates that segregating individuals affected by physical and psychological disorder from the process of reproduction will result in a society with near-perfect individuals. The Hardy-Weinberg principle reveals that such characteristics of individuals are not inherited but acquired from the environment under which they are subjected to.
