Grein í Guardian um skammarlega sögu darwinisma og nýleg ummæli James Watsons

Eitt sem greinarhöfundur klikkar á er að hann segir að Darwin sjálfur hafi ekki haft hugmyndir um að bæta kynþátt með því að "rækta" það.  Eugenics kom beint frá hugmyndum Darwins og Darwin sjálfur orðaði kjarna þeirra hugmyndfræði eins og sést vel í orðum hans í bókinni "The descent of man"

Charles Darwin - The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex
With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
