Lynn himself is far more notable than this particular book ( we are not talking about " Darwin " versus " On the Origin of Species " here ! ) and really, the main reason people know about Lynn is because he espouses the views summarized in the dysgenics book.

We at the Dysgenic Family of Funds share your disappointment with our 1998 performance _ even as we remain confident that the stellar returns of our index funds, which came close to matching their appropriate benchmarks if sales loads, 12b-1 fees and management expenses are ignored, amply illustrate the rewards of patience.

It was first used c . 1915 by David Starr Jordan, describing the supposed dysgenic effects of World War I . Jordan believed that healthy men were as likely to die in modern warfare as anyone else, and that war killed only the physically healthy men of the populace whilst preserving the disabled at home.

From the beginning the League was criticised because of its open emphasis on the dysgenic and fratricidal nature of intra-European warfare, and its tendency to attract prominent ex-Nazis such as scholar Hans F . K . G�nther, who received awards under the National Socialist regime for his work on John Tyndall.

Another is Race and intelligence, improved since December but still highly problematic, with its satellite articles on Richard Lynn, J . Philippe Rushton, eugenics, dysgenics, etc . Lynn and Rushton have proposed genetic causes for differences in IQ scores between different population groups in the world and what should be done about it.

Though I don't think this applies at all in the case of DS, one of the stranger side-effects of prenatal abortion is that you have a high chance for a " dysgenic " effect ( if we want to use those terms ) because heterozygous populations can reproduce more often without getting double-recessive children.

While both claimed intelligence was hereditary, eugenics asserted new policies were needed to actively change the status quo towards a more " eugenic " state, while the Social Darwinists argued society itself would naturally " check " the problem of " dysgenics " if no welfare policies were in place ( for example, the poor might reproduce more but would have higher mortality rates ).

Some have argued that this is a form of dysgenics but I don't see a lot of evidence that things have changed all that much for quite a long time and tend to think we are just going to see a regression toward the mean in the long run ( that is, there will not be much change on average over the entire gene pool ).

More effort should be given to establishing the importance of the influence of Dysgenics as a concept and theory in philosophical / cultural / political / social contexts, which are purely human fields, and which justify the existence of this page, as distinct from dysgenics as a theory in a biological / genetics context, the validity of which is utterly irrelevant to the notablity and encyclopedia worthiness of this page.
