ABSTRACT: Argues that eugenicists had misused the science of eugenics to the point that prominent figures in the genetic community were forced to repudiate much of the work of the eugenicists. Distinguishes between illegitimate racist research and legitimate scientific investigations.

ABSTRACT: "During the twentieth century, geneticists have dramatically changed their assessments of the biological and social consequences of human race differences and race crossing. In the first quarter of the century, most geneticists thought that human races differed hereditarily by important mental as well as physical differences and that wide race crosses were biologically and socially harmful. The period from 1925 to the outbreak of Work War II saw no change in geneticists'views on hereditary mental differences between human races, but a shift to agnosticism on the issue of wide race crosses. By the early 1950's, geneticists generally argued that wide race crosses were at worst biologically harmless, but still held to earlier beliefs about heredity mental differences betwseen races. The final period from 1951 to the present has witnessed the shift to agnosticism o the issue of hereditary mental differences between races. The change in geneticists' assessments of race difference and race crossing were caused by increased understanding of the complex relationship between genes and environment and by cultural changes."
