In eugenics1, attention is directed primarily to the role of heredity2, the transmission of human characteristics from generation to generation, operating through genes3, which are transmitted to children by their parents. The development of eugenic theory is dependent on the progress of genetics4 (cf. 103-4*), the science concerned with the transmission and effects of hereditary factors. Eugenics as a social movement refers to policies aimed at improving the quality of human populations.
