Foreword. This booklet comprises a selection of articles from the pages of Northern World which between them broadly cover the field of eugenics and race, and help to show how these twin studies are both facets of the same subject : heredity. There can be no guarantee of enduring progress until a thorough appreciation of the implications of heredity has been acquired by those who shape the policies of governments and the destinies of nations. Man is in no way exempt from the laws of biological inheritance which govern all species of the animal and plant kingdoms, and since affairs of heredity tend to be final and irrevocable, the sooner he learns to face up to the facts of nature, then the brighter will be the prospects for humanity.
Roger Pearson was clearly an awful man, just based on reading this book alone. I read this book for an essay I was doing on British eugenics, and I think it’s fair to say that this level of racism was almost rare decades before this book was published in the 50s
