Eugenics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The word 'eugenics' (from the Greek e??e???, for 'well-born') was coined in 1883 by Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, to refer to the study and use of selective breeding (of animals or humans) to improve a species over generations, specifically in regards to hereditary features. Within a few years, Galton had improved his definition to include the specific varieties of 'positive' eugenics (encouraging the 'most fit' to reproduce more often) and 'negative' eugenics (discouraging or preventing the 'less fit' from reproducing). A eugenicist can be vaguely construed as anyone who is an advocate of, a follower of, or a researcher for eugenics."
